- The Rebbe's vote aimed to set a personal example for followers.

- MK Yaakov Tessler accompanied the Rebbe to the polling station.
Despite recent health struggles, the Vizhnitz Rebbe, leader of the Vizhnitz Hasidic dynasty, cast his vote at a polling station in Moshav Ora, where he has been staying. He was accompanied by MK Yaakov Tessler of the United Torah Judaism party, who represents the Hasidism in the Knesset.
The Rebbe's special trip to vote was intended to serve as a personal example for his followers and the general public. Even with his considerable weakness, he insisted on demonstrating his commitment, particularly amid reports of relatively low voter turnout in Haredi communities and efforts by campaign headquarters to mobilize every vote before polls closed.
