Ex-MK Moshe Solomon Returns to Yeshiva After Knesset Tenure

Former Knesset Member Moshe Solomon visited the Orot Yehuda Yeshiva in Efrat on Tuesday, the same day the 26th Knesset was sworn in. This marked his first meeting with yeshiva students since concluding his term in the Knesset.

During the gathering, Solomon spoke with the students about living a life of purpose and meaning, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the collective good over individual interests. He shared personal decisions he made, even when they entailed significant personal and political costs. Solomon encouraged the students to aspire to greatness, set meaningful goals, and pursue them with loyalty to their values and principles.

The visit occurred as Solomon concluded his Knesset service, following a period of conflict with the Religious Zionism party. Notably, Solomon voted against the Basic Law: Torah Study, contrary to his party's stance, a move that led to his removal from Knesset committees. He later announced he would not run in the party's primaries due to ideological disagreements.

Now, on the day new Knesset members begin their terms, Solomon chose to commence his next chapter with an educational engagement at the yeshiva.
