Rabbi Tzemach Mazuz Endorses Likud Primary Candidates Ahead of Vote

Rabbi Tzemach Mazuz, head of the Kisei Rahamim yeshiva, issued an unusual letter of support for several candidates running in the upcoming Likud primaries scheduled for tomorrow. Known for hosting many of these candidates at his residence, Rabbi Mazuz emphasized in his letter that the endorsed individuals are not only men of action but also committed to upholding the core values of the Land of Israel, Torah, and the Jewish people. This endorsement comes amid recent tensions involving the ultra-Orthodox community, including protests over the arrest of draft evaders and a three-hour blockade of Highway 4. The letter also reflects ongoing political maneuvers within the Likud party, including efforts to secure positions for figures like Gilad Erdan.
