The top four spots on the party list will be held by Party Chairman Moti Leitner, Asher Freddy, Dr. Nechumi Yaffe, and Ziva Glantz.
The full statement from Party Chairman Moti Leitner:
“Behind every name on this list stand tens of thousands of Charedim who, for years, have been dismissed, ignored, and pushed aside by an old and disconnected leadership.
Behind every name on this list stand tens of thousands of Charedi mothers who have spent years pleading for their children to be taught mathematics and English simply so they will one day be able to support their families with dignity, only to be met with indifference, cruelty, and hostility from an outdated and bullying establishment.
Behind every name on this list stand thousands of fathers who are in pain over children who cannot succeed in full-day yeshiva learning. Instead of being encouraged to enter military frameworks designed for Charedim, many simply fall through the cracks because the current leadership works to delegitimize anyone who serves in a Charedi brigade and refuses to give legitimacy to the very idea of ‘responsibility.’
Behind this entire list stand hundreds of thousands of Israelis for whom the Jewish identity of the State matters deeply, people who have waited years for a party that will protect the sacred values and traditions of the Jewish people, while not turning its back on the State of Israel, not cursing IDF soldiers, and recognizing responsibility for the country’s future as a value in itself.
Tens of thousands of Israelis who once voted Shas - once the political home of authentic Israeli Jewish tradition - have watched it become, in recent years, a branch of the Peleg extremists who shout in the streets, ‘We will die rather than enlist.’
Today, for the first time, there is an alternative.
With one ballot, we are offering hope and a future for the Charedi community. We are offering hope and a future for the State of Israel as a whole.
The Charedi community is a growth engine for the State of Israel. The Torah world is the protective armor and shield of the Jewish people. Our priorities are clear. We are Charedim who fear the word of Hashem. We have chosen to preserve the tradition of our fathers, passed down for hundreds and thousands of years.
But separation does not have to mean alienation.
We will secure the future of the Charedi community - and in doing so, help secure the future of the State of Israel.”
