Zionist rabbis switch from Habayit Hayehudi to Yahad
A group of senior rabbis from the religious Zionist movement announced Thursday it had withdrawn its endorsement of Habayit Hayehudi in the March 17 election in favor of Yahad, the party established recently by former Shas chairman Eli Yishai.
The announcement was in the form of an open letter published as an advertisement in the religious Zionist weekly BeSheva.
“At this time, we are called upon to make our calculations according to the Torah’s truth,” the letter said.
