Manhigut Yehudit

Feiglin is the co-founder (along with Sackett) and president of the Manhigut Yehudit ("Jewish Leadership") faction in the Israeli Likud party. Manhigut Yehudit was started, in Feiglin's words, "to lead the State of Israel through authentic Jewish values". The movement is against religious coercion, but it wants "Jewish identity" to become Israel's culture. Its platform acknowledges that Torah law does not relate to the nuts and bolts of governing a state, but rather to personal, family and community issues. Manhigut Yehudit (מנהיגות יהודית Jewish Leadership) is a movement started by Moshe Feiglin and Shmuel Sackett to lead the State of Israel with, in their words, authentic Jewish values. ... Likud (Hebrew: ליכוד, literally means consolidation) is a centre-right political party in Israel. ... Halakha (Hebrew: הלכה; also transliterated as Halakhah, Halacha, Halakhot and Halachah with pronunciation emphasis on the third syllable, kha), is the collective corpus of Jewish religious law, including biblical law (the 613 mitzvot) and later talmudic and rabbinic law as well as customs and traditions. ...

While Feiglin says that the movement benefits secular Jews as much as religious ones, he says that the movement’s leadership will rise from "those who have a deep commitment to Torah values." Still, 30 percent of its present members are secular (2005). It has been suggested that Tawrat be merged into this article or section. ...

Though he has been somewhat more muted on the issue of late, Feiglin has been on public record supporting the "transfer" (willing or otherwise) of Palestinians to Jordan, similar to proposals from other right-wing groups in Israel, both inside and outside the political sphere, including Herut, Hazit, Moledet, Yisrael Beiteinu, and most notably, Kach. (See also Elon Peace Plan.) Population transfer is a term referring to a policy by which a state, or international authority, forces the movement of a large group of people out of a region, most frequently on the basis of their ethnicity or religion. ... Herut (Hebrew: חרות Freedom) was the political party of the Revisionist Zionist movement in Israel. ... The Chayil Party is the Right Wing Israeli political party founded by Baruch Marzel. ... Moledet (Hebrew מולדת, literally homeland) is a small right-wing political party in Israel. ...

Kach was an extremist right-wing Israeli party led by Meir Kahane. ... The Elon Peace Plan is a solution for the Arab-Israeli conflict proposed in 2002 by Rabbi Binyamin Elon, who was the Israeli tourism minister at the time he put forward his proposal. ...

For this and other reasons, some of Feiglin's left-wing detractors sometimes accuse of him of being disturbingly similar to the late Rabbi Meir Kahane. [1] While Manhigut's co-founder, Shmuel Sackett, had close ties with Rabbis Meir and Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane, there is little evidence directly connecting Feiglin with Kahane, although there are several ideological similarities between them, such as supporting "transfer" to increase Israel's security, developing a legal system more consistent with halakha, and in restricting Israeli citizenship to Jews. [2] In 2005, Feiglin took this idea a step further and suggested that all Jews who wished to be citizens of Israel, regardless of where they lived, should be given full citizenship and voting rights. [3] Feiglin and Sackett are most distinguished from traditional Kahanism through their commitment to nonviolent protest. Kahanism is often associated with militancy and a tacit acceptance of, if not outright support for, violence. Conversely, Feiglin and Sackett are also attacked in some right-wing Religious Zionist circles (including Kahane supporters) for selling out to the Likud. Rabbi Meir David Kahane (, also known by the pseudonyms Michael King, David Sinai and Hayim Yerushalmi, 1 August 1932 – 5 November 1990) was an American-Israeli Orthodox rabbi, author, political activist, and a former member of the Israeli Knesset. ...

Feiglin in the Likud

In December 2005, Feiglin ran for Likud chairman and won 12.5% of the votes; 50% of his votes came from unaffiliated Likud voters. He did extraordinarily well and came in third out of seven candidates, after Benjamin Netanyahu and Silvan Shalom. He attempted to run for a slot on the party's Knesset list, but encountered severe opposition from Netanyahu, who delayed party elections and advocated making changes to its charter, to bar "anyone who has served three or more months in prison" from running as a Likud MK. This would have prevented Feiglin, who served a six-month sentence in the mid-90s for civil disobedience, from running for either an MK or leadership position in the future. Feiglin withdrew from the race on January 3, 2006, following the release of a statement from the Likud party election chairman declaring, in agreement with a prior decision by the Israeli High Court, that Feiglin's conviction was not for "dishonorable" violations of the law, allowing him to participate in future Likud affairs. [4] Given that on March 1, 2006, voting for the Knesset list was granted to the membership by the party's central committee, Feiglin's chances of being elected MK have become much more likely.   (Hebrew: בִּנְיָמִין נְתַנְיָהוּ (without niqqud: בנימין נתניהו), Hebrew transliteration written in English: Binyamin Netanyahu, nicknamed Bibi) (born October 21, 1949, Tel Aviv) was the 9th Prime Minister of Israel and is a leading figure in the Likud party. ...

In the August 14, 2007 primary elections, Feiglin received 23 percent of the votes to Netanyahu's 73 percent, largely due to negative press coverage of Feiglin and a last-minute surge of pro-Netanyahu votes. Feiglin remains optimistic about the growth of the Manhigut Yehudit faction within the Likud.
