The power of a Jewish woman to create a Jewish home by setting a certain tone of love, warmth and nurturing, is underestimated.

Hagit Moshe defeated Yamina Party leader Naftali Bennett’s confidant, Nir Orbach.
Bennett has been courting the Haredi community to expand the ranks of Bayit Yehudi voters.
Haaretz writer Yossi Klein lamented that religious Jews can't be 'neutralized'.
Bennett preached unity, but Herzog scolded him for crossing the "red line" in the elections.
Herzog's idea sounds stupid, but if it is taken seriously, it might be a great brainstorm.
A personal armed guard now is escorting Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home) Knesset Member Ayelet Shaked following death threats. Shaked is slated to be the Justice Minister, an appointment that has riled up the left-wing, which usually goes to bat for women but not if they are on the "wrong side" of the road. The decision […]
Bayit Yehudi will bear full responsibility for settlements. Herzog insists he will remain in the Opposition.
"High noon" is 8 p.m. Wednesday. New elections, anyone?
Leftists and right-wingers remain silent in the demonstration they should be leading.
The left-wing party's problem is that the ministry spent more money to promote Judaism than democracy.
Bayit Yehudi settles for three Cabinet posts. Shas to head Religious Affairs with Bayit Yehudi as Deputy.
Bennett drew his red line on Twitter, but don’t worry. There is a Jewish solution.
Marzel not sorry Yachad party's loss cost Bayit Yehudi seats in Knesset. Bennett accuses Netanyahu of thinking he is a sucker.
The anti-Bibi barrage last week cost him a grand total of two seats, which went to other parties but not to Bujie and Tzipi.
But does one of the disguised "terrorists" look like Bennett?
The trend in the polls is clear - the next government will not be muscled by the left.
National religious voters favoring the new Yachad party headed by Eli Yishai may be wasting their votes.
He is suffering from a blood disease, His condition has improved slightly.
The popular right-wing Knesset Member now is in the 20th place on the list of candidates.
Israel TV and radio turned a one-seat improvement for Herzog-Livni into a major victory.
Results of the recount are good news for the Likud and bad news for the Jewish Home party.
With Feiglin and Hotovely out of the Knesset, Netanyahu feels safer, but his price might be a bigger Jewish Home party in the next Knesset.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good. Feiglin’s loss is the Jewish Home party’s gain.
Too much ideology spoils the political soup.
Bayit Yehudi, or its predecessor, the Mafdal party, hasn't held the Education Minister's portfolio since 1999.
The results of the poll may cause people to start changing their minds.
“Leftists don’t care about Arabs, settlers are the true Jews. Leftists warned me I will be the first in the gas chambers."
Moshe Kahlon courts Michael Oren but rejects Rami Levi. Shas and Jewish Home divorces not yet final.
The addition of the secular Dayan is another sign pointing to national religious Uri Ariel's joining Haredi Eli Yishai.
Deri is getting rid of Yishai, and Uri Ariel is making noise about dividing the Jewish Home Party.
The giant firm will build a cyber-defense center outside of central Israel and train Haredim and others.
The surprising results are a strong warning to Bennett and Netanyahu that the right wing is not in their pockets.
The coalition likes to survive by blood-letting.
The only non-coalition partner that gained popularity in the latest Knesset Channel poll was Meretz.

MK Mitzna compared Bayit Yehudi to Hamas, but doesn't his own HaTnua party have far more dastardly goals in common with that terrorist organization?
It won’t happen so soon, but it is only a matter of time until Jewish in Efrat finally can be like Jews in Tel Aviv.
Bye-bye to the right-wing extremists, left-wing extremists, weirdoes and maybe Tzipi Livni.
Custom duties on imported butter, yogurt and other dairy products will be drastically slashed in a move by Economy Minister Naftali Bennett to increase competition and lower prices. Import taxes on some dairy prices account for as much as 100 percent of the final cost, according to Bennett, who also is chairman of the Jewish […]
Jewish Home party chairman Naftali Bennett started threatened Monday to pull his party out of the government coalition if Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu accepts an American “framework” that is inconsistent with the party’s principles. He also made it clear at the annual Jerusalem Conference that he will back the Prime Minister if there is no […]
Two new polls show that Israel is marching rightward and that the nationalist and religious parties would even be stronger than in the current coalition if elections were held today, mostly at the expense of Yair Lapid The Likud Beitenu party, which reflects the merger of Likud and Yisrael Beitenu that still may be dissolved, […]
Kerry is whistling Dixie to think that everything that helps the Palestinian Authority helps Israel.
Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party would win 14 Knesset seats if elections were held today, compared with 11 in a poll in November, according to the Hebrew-language Walla! website. The increased strength is attributed to recent bills on more rights for homosexuals that Yesh Atid has sponsored, although they not yet been passed into law. The […]
Several Haredi residents in Beit Shemesh have confessed to police investigators that they gave the identification cards to others to vote in their place, Israel radio reported. On Election Day, police confiscated approximately 200 identification cards and disguises. Attorney General Yehudah Weinstein appealed to the courts to violate the recent elections in Beit Shemesh, and […]
Either Kerry is smoking something weird, Livni is selling Israel up the creek or Bennett is about to break up the government. Kerry: We are close than ever to an agreement; Bennett: Start annexing.
There is a glimmer of hope in fighting corrupt elections in Israel, which is no worse than anywhere else but simply more obvious.
A police raid on two homes before the elections last month uncovered 250 false identification cards that people intended to use to cast extra ballots.
Jewish Home announced today the formation of the first full-time English Language Social Media Division of a Knesset party in Israeli political history. Naftali Bennett's English Language Social Media Division will be in charge of Naftali's Facebook, Twitter and Youtube pages. The target base is a mix between the 250,000 English speaking immigrants, Jews in […]
Yair Lapid, chairman of the Yesh Atid party and Finance Minister, has agreed to a request from a Jewish Home Knesset Member to cancel a scheduled budget cut of $14 million (50 million shekels) earmarked for foreign students studying in yeshivas in Israel. The funds will be for Haredi as well as national religious yeshivas […]
Approximately 3,000 protesters, including Jewish Home party Knesset Members, protested at the Ofer prison near Jerusalem Monday night, where 26 terrorists will be freed during the night. Their “human chain” has no chance of stopping the release of terrorists, but the demonstrators hope their presence may add enough angry sentiment among Israelis to stop the […]
Local elections in Israel are rarely a pretty sight, but the one Beit Shemesh Tuesday night takes this year’s trophy. False IDs and trashing ballots were the tip of the iceberg. By the way, Shas won.
“Peace talks” resumed on condition of Israel’s freeing 104 terrorists, one batch at a time as a test of PA “peace.” Abbas did not keep his end of the deal, but you can count on Israel to let him off the hook.
When we wrote two months ago here that Obama’s reincarnated “peace process” was doomed from the start, we stated the ugly truth: Terrorists would drive in the first nail. Yet, the PA blames Israel.
“You can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” Lapid soared to political stardom on his “middle class” soap box, which turned out to be full of hogwash. His wealth now is estimated at $6 million.
It took Netanyahu several hours to win a respectable majority in the Cabinet to capitulate to Abbas' demand and approve the release of 104 terrorists in order to allow the renewal of direct talks in Washington on Tuesday.
The Jewish Home (HaBayit HaYehudi) party will be meeting Sunday afternoon to officially (and finally) announce their support for Rav Stav as Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi. The decision was made after it became clear that the law that would allow Rav Ariel to run, was not going to pass. Rav Ariel is the preferred choice for […]
An annual quota of approximately 7,000 Haredim would be paid while learning in yeshiva for three years before serving in the IDF or doing national service, under a plan by Industry and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett, head of the Jewish Home party. He also proposed that 1,800 of them would be exempt from service and […]

Benjamin Netanyahu made his bed when he put pragmatic secular politics over Jewish values.
No coalition? No ticket on Air Force One. Israel television says that if Netanyahu cannot form a government by the final March 16 deadline, Obama will tear up his March 20 ticket.

This is Torah. This is its rightful place in all our lives, both private and public.

Now, the NRP is getting nervous. They should have looked more carefully before signing the Ketuba, marriage contract with Bennett.
“Old guard” MK Slomiansky surprised the Jewish Home party by being voted number two MK in party primaries. Bennett was suspicious, and a detective’s work may explain how he did it. Just buy votes.
Netanyahu wheels and deals, Livni sacrifices herself on the altar of a Cabinet post, Shas plays cute and the public is fed up. A new poll shows that if elections were held today, Lapid would win.
Talks on a new government coalition have turned into spin after spin and bluff after bluff, with “everyone on first” and no one at home. Everyone is wearing masks to the point that some people, like Livni, already have lost their identities. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s deal with Tzipi Livni to appoint her in charge of […]

Who's to blame for there being no religious bloc in the negotiations with the Likud?
The criticism focused on the fact that Livni will be given a leading role in negotiations with the Palestinians, by the Likud said the Prime Minister will lead the negotiating team.
Shas and UTJ claim that they're joining the coalition. The question now is, who will be the last party to join?
By Meir Indor
The Right is complacent, perhaps because everyone is busy with the Herculean task of assembling the next governing coalition.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not discounted the possibility of calling new elections, Likud sources say, according to the Israeli publication, Ma'ariv.
Nasty threats, mistreatment, rumors, and a general lack of trust define this government's coalition building attempts.
The institution of party primaries in Israel needs to be expanded not shrunk, so that the government will be under the supervision of the people from which it derives power and the moral authority to govern.
Torah will probably flourish more with Shas out of the government and hopefully the Chief Rabbinate will revert back to a Rabbinate for all of Israel.
While Netanyahu reportedly has his hands full with Yair Lapid's coalition demands, Avigdor Liberman met with Naftali Bennett today to discuss Bennett's joining the coalition, according to Avigdor Liberman's Facebook page. Liberman said they discussed the political options currently on the table as well as the Chareidi draft issue. They agreed to continue talking. Bennett […]
If we in the Likud will understand the deep reason for our party’s decline we will continue to securely lead Israel with our national vision.
By Batya Medad
The Israeli media are busy faux negotiating, publishing all sorts of possibilities.
Two days after the elections ended, PM Netanyahu finally decided to call HaBayit HaYehudi (Jewish Home) head Naftali Bennett. The two did not set a time they would meet, and rumors from within the Likud before the elections said that Netanyahu would not include the "Jewish Home" party in his coalition. Netanyahu will not be […]
Conservative movements and parties cannibalize themselves.
These are the final results for the elections to the 19th Knesset.
Someone asked me if Israelis were forced to vote or they had a choice...we so have a choice and we choose to vote.

Bibi wants the smallest Likud possible while still maintaining his PM seat.
By Anav Silverman, Tazpit News Agency
There are Israeli voters making some surprising and rather unexpected choices.
The Likud has achieved much over the last four years for settlements and the nation, and aside from his silly insistence on the two-state solution, Netanyahu has been a pretty good Prime Minister.
Rubinstein made clear that candidate lists running for election may not trifle with injunctions issued by the Chairman of the Central Election Commission.

Temple Mount, Temple, Messiah, Rebuilt Temple, Jeremy Gimpel, Jewish Home, HaBayit Hayehudi, Tzipi Livni, Video,
The Channel 10 report included the fact that none of the Likud's district candidates would get in and even MK Carmel Shama could be on the chopping bloc.
During the interview Bennett refused to answer what ministry he would like to head.
It cannot be claimed it is fair for one party to attack another, but not for the other to attack back...

The only thing preventing it from becoming a reality is the tragic fact that so many Orthodox Jews prefer living in the Diaspora.
The average of last week's nine polls in Israel
Bennett turns the tables on a political ambush.
In a 12 year struggle, we have led the Religious Zionists deep into the ruling party. The Likud, in turn, gladly opened its gates wide.
It is amazing to see how the same people can be deceived time and again.
By Rafi Farber
Why it makes absolutely no difference how many seats the Jewish Home party gets.
The biggest obstacle to peace, of course, is the Palestinian intention to establish an Arab state from the river to the sea.
Naftali Bennett goes on the offensive, questioning whether Netanyahu is planing another Expulsion/Disengagement based on his statements.
Knesset Jeremy's average of last week's polls.
All but Smoliansky are allies of Naftali Bennett who trounced MK Zvulon Orlev to become the new chairman of the party last week.
We may be in different parties, but Jeremy Gimpel is representative of the English-speaking community in Israel. His message represents the selfless Zionist commitment of the community in the political sphere. My hope is that all Anglos who are members of the Jewish Home should make sure they turn up at the polling station and support Jeremy Gimpel and help him get into the Knesset.
