| Primaries: At the Threshold |
 We are at the threshold of the most important test that Manhigut Yehudit and its message of Jewish leadership has ever encountered. Ever since the Oslo Accords (and actually even before them) the belief based public in Israel has been concerned only with survival -- extinguishing whatever fires have been set by the government and Left. These efforts are worthy and important -- but they vividly express the proportions of the tragedy. The only public that has the faith, self-sacrifice and connection to the Nation of Israel that can save the country and lead it -- has steered itself into a pathetic rearguard war.
But now, the Creator has presented us with a truly wondrous opportunity to achieve the leadership position of the Likud, to unite all the National and Religious parties into one bloc under the leadership of the Likud ("One Israel") to defeat the corrupt Left in general elections and to lead the nation to its historic destiny.
The future and very existence of the State of Israel is at stake. G-d has given us a golden opportunity. Now is the time to unite all of our forces, stage a vibrant and convincing campaign, pray to G-d that we do only His will -- and win!

| Moshe Feiglin at Likud Central C'mtee |
|
 On Tuesday, the Likud Central Committee convened to set the date for primaries. The following are translated excerpts from Moshe Feiglin's speech at that event:
Honorable Chairman and Dear Friends,
"Israel's citizens have been dealing with an ominous feeling of impending doom -- as if they are about to fall into an abyss. The Nation of Israel understands that its current leadership is irresponsible and cares only about itself. That is why the Likud -- as a responsible leadership party -- must quickly offer Israel a completely different type of leadership.
When the Likud members vote, they are not only electing the leader of the Likud. They
are electing the leader who will defeat Nasrallah and Achmadinijad! They are electing the leader who can save Israel!
And who can defeat Israel's enemies? The answer is simple. Only a leader who believes in G-d can win. We are the Nation of faith, the Nation whose faith has triumphed throughout two thousand years of exile. But we failed in last year's battle against a nobody because he had his faith, but we have lost ours. Dear friends, if we do not have leadership that believes in G-d, we simply will not be here! We will continue to stagnate, decline and eventually collapse.
Today, with our decision to hold primaries, we have started the process that will depose Israel's corrupt and faithless leaders. From here, we will bring a new message to the Nation of Israel. The Likud is taking responsibility and rising to the challenge. Soon, the Nation of Israel will have worthy leadership. Leadership that believes in this nation and in this Land -- leadership that believes in the G-d of Israel.
No more equations like: "If they give, they will get." We do not want to give them anything and we do not want to receive anything from them. We want to defeat them! It is simple and entirely possible -- as soon as we begin to believe.
Dear friends, our triumph will begin at home. We do not stand for religious coercion and we do not plan on creating a halachic (Jewish law) state.
We stand for Jewish education. We stand for restoring honor to the Jewish family. We stand for a Supreme Court that represents the Jewish people -- a Supreme Court with a Jewish heart. We stand for a proud Jewish state that knows how to deal with its enemies! And most importantly, we stand for the end of the horrible betrayal of all that is dear to us. First and foremost, of our brother Jonathan Pollard.
I am running for chairmanship of the Likud because I believe with all my heart that only a leader with faith can return us to ourselves and win. Let us lead the nation, save it and create a proud and thriving Jewish state for all the generations to come!

| Feiglin Speaks Out |
|
 Maariv political correspondent Ben Caspit, guest-hosting Army Radio's Ma Boer morning talk-show interviewed Moshe Feiglin on Tuesday. "We are back to the 90s - with Netanyahu, Barak and Olmert competing for the top spot," Caspit said. "Israeli politics is stuck with the same ideas, same
concepts and same people. We are about to talk with someone who says he is a fresh change to the old cast of characters."
[Excerpts from the interview:]
Feiglin: "The question is not about primaries but about who will lead this nation...I am running to win and not to make a show or increase influence."
Caspit: "So Netanyahu is just another leftist?"
Feiglin: Netanyahu is a very worthy person and he should certainly be active in the government, but there is no choice - the leader must
be a man of faith. We are talking about a basic element of leadership - we took G-d out of the equation."
Caspit: "But the Likud is not a religious party - for that there are religious parties. "
Feiglin: "Ben, you are mistaken. The Likud is not a secular party, but a national party. A majority of its members are traditional.
Caspit: "But you are making it religious! The Likud believes in Democracy!"
Feiglin: "I am not talking about a religious party - I am against the existence of religious parties. I am talking about restoring national pride, about
why we returned to this land in the first place. What are we if we are not Jews?"
Caspit: "Democracy overrules Jewish law and the rabbis!"
Feiglin: "It is the nation that wants a more traditional society. We are the biggest democrats. What has happened here? A tiny minority took control
of the courts, took control of the press, a group that doesn't believe in anything Jewish and dragged our society to the fringes of the Left. When a
normal person comes along - a simple, proud Jew who wants to represent what the nation wants and is proud of - he is labeled a 'right-wing
extremist.' We will lead this country, with G-d's help, very soon."

| Eye on the Media |
 Today's Jerusalem Post reports that the "Likud fears that Moshe Feiglin may get thirty percent of the primary vote." Although the JPost presents this
prospect as a threat, it does not conceal the fact that Feiglin is a serious contender.
In the article, two Likud MKs, Limor Livnat and Yisrael Katz cast doubts on Moshe Feiglin's relevance to the Likud. But in last year's primary, the
Likudniks thought that Moshe was much more relevant than both Livnat and Katz together. Livnat quit the primary race after polls showed that she had only one percent support among Likudniks. Katz stayed in the race, eventually getting 8.7% of the vote, well behind Moshe Feiglin. (Two other would-be contenders, Shaul Mofaz and Uzi Landau, quit after polls showed them trailing behind Feiglin).
Would the relevant Likudnik please stand up?

 Thank you, dear friends, for the tremendous support and encouragement with which you have showered us since the primaries were announced. The following letter is just one example:
Shalom everyone. Are you sick and tired of the Israeli government continuously cowering to our enemies, and in the process compromising the
security of our people? Are you sick and tired of the Israeli government releasing Palestinian terrorists? Are you sick and tired of the Israeli government preventing the Jewish communities of YESHA from legally growing and prospering, while allowing Arabs to illegally take our land and try to establish facts on the ground? Are you sick and tired of the Israeli foreign ministry exporting to the world images of Israel as a bastion of immorality and lewdness? Are you sick and tired of Israel having a reputation for corruption in the eyes of the world?
Now is the time to take action to put a stop to all this! Now is the time to turn the State of Israel into a true Kiddush Hashem that honors our
heritage and values the life and welfare of every single Jew. Now is the time to support Manhigut Yehudit! Invite Shmuel Sackett to your community
and give him the opportunity to mesmerize audiences with the Manhigut Yehudit platform. Shmuel Sackett will present an uplifting, inspiring
discussion of how all of this can be turned around. I promise you that Shmuel Sackett will make believers out of even the most skeptical, and I can
speak from first hand experience. Please invite him to your communities.
Finally, we have an opportunity to get some real leadership in the State of Israel, and it is not a moment too soon! Don't shrug your shoulders and
say that Manhigut Yehudit has no chance. Manhigut Yehudit has every chance. Manhigut Yehudit has done better and better in each Likud primary.
Support for Moshe Feiglin and Manhigut Yehudit is increasing daily. Moshe Feiglin and Manhigut Yehudit can win, but they need our help! We can
all help in a multitude of ways. In addition to bringing Shmuel Sackett to our communities and synagogues, we can donate money to Manhigut
Yehudit. We can encourage our friends and relatives in Israel to join the Likud so that they will be able to vote for Moshe Feiglin in primaries. There
is much that we can all do to help put an end to the daily outrages taking place in the State of Israel. Please visit the Manhigut Yehudit website at
http://www.jewishisrael.org/. Let's all do our parts, and with G-d's help, Manhigut Yehudit will soon assume the leadership of the State of Israel!

| Terrorist Release Psychosis: By Moshe Feiglin |
|
 Tamuz, 5767
July, 2007
Translated from the Yisraeli newspaper
Yehudit Dasberg was one of the first victims of Oslo. Her daughter and son in law were murdered in a drive-by shooting near Gush Ezion. Yehudit
and her husband Uri adopted their two babies and have raised them ever since. When Israel began to release terrorists, Yehudit appealed to the Supreme Court. Time and again, the court rejected her appeals. After a number of years and terrorist releases, Yehudit tried a new tactic. She came to the court equipped with a large poster onto which she had pasted pictures of more than one hundred men, women and children. "Do you know who these people are?" Yehudit asked Justice Mishael Cheshin. "These are the Jews murdered by the terrorists that you insisted on releasing."
The release of the murderers of Jews has become a fact of life. At first, they explained that it would bring peace. Today, they tell us that it will
strengthen the good terrorists in their fight against the bad terrorists and that it will help get negotiations started. Nobody buys it but nevertheless,
as if it were some sort of heavenly decree -- we continue to release them.
The answer to that is hidden in the realm of our denial of our Jewish identity.
We have rejected our Jewish identity and have enlisted the cruelest of our enemies to help us be rid of it. We called it a peace agreement, or
Separation, or Disengagement or who knows what -- but it is all one and the same. It is the drive to purge ourselves of the Land of the Bible and the
people faithful to it -- the people who interfere with our denial of our Jewish identity.
And it works. We have denied our Jewish identity so much that we tolerate the murderers of Jews. We release them time and again to preserve our
illusion of normalcy.
Return to Jewish values, Jewish identity and the Land of Israel means return to Divine morals. Our sages expressed Divine security morals in the
adage, "If someone plans to attack you, be sure to attack him first." (Sanhedrin 72).
It is imperative that we return to the life-giving values of the Torah. Our security culture must be motivated by the principle that potential
aggressors will be attacked before they have any chance to cause us harm. The battle must move from within our cities to enemy territory. An
aggressive security stance is not only necessary, but also Jewishly moral. When this principle is applied in our security culture, it will, with G-d's help,
bring Israel genuine and long lasting security.

Shmittah Planting Deadline Nears |
|
 This coming Jewish year -- 5768 -- will be a Shmitah (Sabbatical) year in Israel in which planting is prohibited by Jewish law. While the Shmitah year officially begins on Rosh HaShanah (Sept 13th) planting of NEW fruit trees must be done NO LATER than the 15th of Av (July 30th).
One of the most important things for Israeli farmers to do is to plant -- as much as possible -- BEFORE the Shmitah begins. Since they will not be planting for over a year, these trees will serve as their main income for many years to come. This unique mitzvah -- of planting on the eve of Shmitah -- comes just ONCE in seven years!!!
Manhigut Yehudit has taken upon itself to help many of the farming communities throughout Judea and Samaria during this time. The brave young men and women who live in these areas are working virtually around the clock getting their fields ready for full observance of Shmitah, according to the strictest guidelines of Jewish law.You can help redeem the land, plant new fruit trees and provide a livelihood for many Jews. But you have to act fast. The July 30th deadline is not a joke or marketing gimmick. It is real. We MUST know ASAP how many trees you want to plant so that we can make all of the arrangements with our people in Yitzhar, Elon Moreh and other settlements. The earlier the better!
A beautiful personalized - full color - certificate will be mailed to you.
Trees can be planted in memory of departed ones, in honor of family or friends or for any reason at all. Your certificate will contain the text you want and is suitable for framing.
Attention synagogues, families and communities:
Plant 100 trees and receive your own private vineyard or olive grove! A beautiful wooden sign will be placed at the entrance to the vineyard or olive grove with your name and special dedication.
For more information, please call Shmuel Sackett at (516) 295-3222 or email: shmuel@manhigut.org
Click here to plant your fruit tree NOW before the Shmittah year begins. HURRY!!!
