It is important to distinguish between the people of
the Likud and its leaders. The people who make up
the Likud are by and large very Jewish in their
outlook and their identity. The political leadership of
the Likud, though, is completely captive to the
Leftist elites and its world view. When the Likud
members were asked how they identified themselves
first -- as Jews or Israelis -- only 29% answered that
they identified first as Israelis. In other words, the
vast majority identifies as Jews. These people are
the bedrock of the Jewish majority. The Likud is the
Nation of Israel. It is currently controlled by
leadership that coerces it to act counter to its
values. The only way to rectify this situation is to
work inside the Likud; to meet the people; approach
them as fellow Likud members and to speak to their
Jewish hearts. It works, because their hearts are
thirsting for political leadership that represents their
basic Jewish values.

The Likud, as the authentic representative of the
Jewish majority, has a natural advantage.
Consequently, since the first time the Likud won
national elections in 1977, it has for the most part
remained in power. So the question is not: When
does the Likud win? The question really is: When
does the Likud lose?
If we look at Israel's electoral history, we will see that the Likud loses to the Left every time it strays from the Nationalistic path: The first time was in 1984 after the retreat from Sinai; the second time in 1992 after the Madrid Conference; the third time in 1999 after the Wye Accords and retreat from Hebron and the last time in 2005, after the Disengagement. The Likud referendum on Gush Katif and Sharon's refusal to put the question to a national vote prove that the Likudniks are an accurate national weathervane. When the Likudniks voted against the Disengagement, Sharon understood that the nation would also vote it down. That is why he refused to hold a national poll on the issue. When the Likudniks will elect Moshe Feiglin, it will mean that the nation at large is ready for him, as well. Furthermore, how many people will vote NRP if Moshe Feiglin is running on the Likud ticket for Prime Minister? How many will vote National Union? How many will stay with Shas or with Lieberman? When Moshe Feiglin will head the Likud, we will be able to establish a Jewish umbrella party that, with G-d's help, will win by a large majority and lead a united, Jewish revolution. Because Manhigut Yehudit at the head of the Likud means more than winning the elections; it means leadership that will steer Israel on its authentic Jewish course. into the Jewish State.

3 Shvat, 5767
January 22, 2007 Most people say that the Neturai Karta “crossed the
line.” Their attendance at that
abhorrent “conference” and their hugs with the
Iranian president shows that they have simply
identified with the enemy. Well, if that’s true, didn’t
Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert also “cross the line”
when they expelled 8,000 Jews from their homes?
Didn’t they identify with the enemy when they
rewarded Arab terrorists with Jewish land and Jewish
fields? Didn’t they spit on Jewish blood when they
destroyed Jewish homes, synagogues, Yeshivas and
businesses? Where were the condemnations
then?

If you are reading this newsletter, you have
presumably heard of Moshe Feiglin and possibly read
some of his articles. But there are many more faces
to Manhigut Yehudit. This week, we would like to
introduce:
Shai Malka:
Tomorrow's Leaders
It is hard to believe that Shai Malka is only 22
years old. In just a few short years, he has
co-founded (along with Ariel Vangrover) the youth
branch of Manhigut
Yehudit, co-headed the Bayit Leumi organization that
halted traffic throughout Israel in protest of the
planned Disengagement, spent four months in jail for
his efforts and headed the Manhigut Yehudit
Election Day headquarters. When not using his
organizational talents to build Israel's physical future,
Shai learns Torah full time, building Israel's spiritual
future.
Q: Shai, when you headed the nation-wide
protest against the Disengagement, you were only
twenty years old. How did you have the nerve to get
up in front of thousands of people, some of them
three times your age or more, and ask them to block
Israel's roads?
A: The question is how I would have dared not to do it. How could I have looked myself in the mirror if I had not done everything that I could to stop the Disengagement? The fact that the government put us in jail for four months just proves that the civil disobedience that we encouraged really was the way to stop the expulsion. I have no doubt that we could have succeeded. What stopped it was the reluctance of our own, Orange camp. Q: What brought you to Manhigut Yehudit? A: I had always followed the pamphlets put out by Manhigut Yehudit. About four years ago, I attended the Manhigut Chanukah Conference. I felt that I had finally found people who speak the truth and look at reality from a completely honest perspective. I felt that they were poised to fulfill the visions of the prophets for the destiny of the Jewish people. Naturally, I wanted to join them. Ariel and I felt that we could get young people involved in Manhigut Yehudit. We wrote up a plan and sent it to Michael Fuah and then we began setting up Shabbat and weekday Young Manhigut events. When Sharon announced his plans to expel the Jews of Gush Katif, we anticipated that somebody would organize an effective protest. We also realized, though, that it should not be Manhigut Yehudit. If Manhigut had led the protest, it would have wiped out its achievements of the last ten years. So when we concluded that nobody else was staging any serious opposition -- and after many rounds of consultations -- we took it upon ourselves to lead the protest and established the Bayit Leumi organization. Even when we wrote out our original plans for Bayit Leumi, we knew that stopping the threatened expulsion was just the first step. Manhigut Yehudit's ultimate goal is Jewish leadership for Israel. There is simply no alternative. Q: Where should Manhigut Yehudit go from here? A: I think that we have to concentrate less on the Orange public, and more on the general, nationalistic Israeli public. We need to reach the Likudniks who are not yet associated with Manhigut Yehudit, as well as the vast amounts of Israelis who have basically despaired of the entire political scene. We have to hone our message so that Israelis understand that Manhigut Yehudit has answers on a national level. People must understand that there is one root to all of Israel's ills and that Manhigut Yehudit has the solution. Q: Are you optimistic about Israel's future? A: I'll illustrate my answer with a short story: When Ariel and I were interrogated for our part in the Bayit Leumi protest, we did not answer any questions. Instead, we repeated that "this is a political interrogation, and we have nothing to add." This made the interrogators very angry. But there was one exception. One of the interrogators, who seemed to remember a bit about what a real democracy is supposed to be, quietly told us that he was studying criminology, and that he is sure that one day, the Bayit Leumi protest would be studied as a prime example of just and successful civil disobedience. If even an interrogator in the heart of all the evil of the Israeli justice system could say that, I am very confident that the general Israeli public will soon connect to Manhigut Yehudit's message. People clearly see that there is no alternative. I believe that many mainstream Israelis will soon be turning to Manhigut Yehudit. |

Positive Action to Fashion Reality
The Torah states regarding the Pesach offering:
"Neither shall you break a bone of it." (Exodus 12:46) What does this Torah commandment teach us about life? On Passover night as we sit at the Seder we are to envision ourselves as Going out of Egypt and becoming free people. At the Seder, we are kings and queens; we dress royally, we act royally, we eat royally. Royal people do not break bones to suck out the marrow. Poor, downtrodden people must suck the bones to draw out all of the nourishment possible. The outward action brings the inner appreciation. If you want to be free, act free. If you want to be royal, act royally. Likewise, if you want to be kind or to be charitable, then act that way. Eventually, your personality will be shaped by your actions. Life and growth are a process of deciding and then consistently acting in line with your decision. Decide and you can be! based on Growth Through Torah by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin |
