Taking Stock: Rosh Hashanah 5769

Dear Friends,

It seems that G-d is reshuffling all the decks for the new year, 5769. It is happening in politics, in the world economy, in international relations and most likely - within each and every one of us.

We entered the year 5768 immediately following my highly publicized primary bid for the leadership of the Likud. The months that followed were void of great electoral campaigns. But they were chock-full of steady reach-out activity. My articles, television and radio interviews and no less important - countless meetings with the Likud membership throughout Israel - have significantly heightened public awareness and interest in the faith based leadership alternative. The complimentary polls and the enthusiasm with which our ideas are now greeted strengthen our confidence that we are definitely on the right track and progressing all the time.

Our support in the Likud is now very broad-based and is not at all limited to the people who registered for the Likud through Manhigut Yehudit. Our reach-out within the Likud has spilled over into the rest of Israeli society. As I have written countless times before, the Likud is a microcosm of Israeli society at large. The processes developing in the Likud are also taking place throughout Israel. Many more challenges still await us as we aim for leadership of the Likud. But it is clear that the path from leadership of the Likud to leadership of the entire nation will be considerably shorter.

We are at the threshold of a number of very important struggles. If no new government is formed soon in Israel, we will be going to general elections, which will be preceded by Likud primaries for the Knesset list. Even if a new government is formed, its future is hazy and we will nevertheless need to prepare for Likud primaries, which will take place in a year from now at the very most.

If general elections are not held soon, the Likud will hold elections for the Likud Central Committee. We must prepare ourselves for this important race. The Likud Central Committee is a highly influential body. For example, Bibi's proposal to parachute non-Likud, leftist celebrities into the top slots in the Likud evaporated when it became clear that it would never make it past the Likud Central Committee. Currently, Manhigut Yehudit has a significant amount of members on both the Central Committee and the various Likud committees. It is of utmost importance that we increase our strength in these committees even more.

Another challenge that awaits us in the new year is to restore those Manhigut Yehudit people who have let their Likud memberships lapse to active, paying status. The Likud secretariat has passed a decision to allow those people who stopped paying their dues to renew their membership status without the necessity of waiting 16 months to be allowed to vote again. As such, it is extremely important to make sure that your payments to the Likud are in order and to ensure that your family/friends/neighbors/ associates who used to be Likud members renew their memberships, as well. If you have any questions about your membership status, email us at manhigut@manhigut.org.

Our political activism is creating a Jewish revolution. Slowly but surely, we are bringing about a changing of the guard - ridding Israel of the tired, faithless and uninspired leadership that has led the State of Israel to date. Slowly but surely, we are transferring the leadership of Israel away from the elite that has controlled us since the birth of Zionism and restoring it to the Jewish majority. That is why the ruling elites are trying so hard to remove me from the Likud Knesset list. They want to preserve their control. Moshe Feiglin threatens it.

5769 will be a revolutionary year. We are doing all that we can to prepare for the greatest revolution of all - the faith based revolution.

I sincerely thank the thousands of Manhigut Yehudit supporters who constantly inject us with the strength to continue our struggle to provide Israel with authentic Jewish leadership. May G-d bless you all with a year of good health, happiness, and fulfillment and may all your aspirations become reality in the very best way.

I pray that we will have the merit to lead our nation in the coming year with genuine love of Israel and complete loyalty to G-d, the Land of Israel and the Nation of Israel.

Shanah Tovah Umetukah,

Moshe Feiglin

Release Jewish Prisoners

As the new year approaches, we fervently pray that the Prisoners of Zion both in and outside of Israel will shortly return home to their families. First and foremost, the betrayed Prisoner of Zion, our brother, Jonathan Pollard. Second, the soldier for whom Israel does not even attempt to exact a price - Gilad Shalit. And of course, all the Jewish Prisoners of Zion languishing in Israeli jails because Israel "doesn't have a vested interest" (in the words of Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter) in releasing them - although it is convinced that it does have a vested interest in the wholesale release of Arab murderers. We pray that we will soon merit worthy, Jewish leadership that will view the Jewish vested interest as Israel's vested interest and will free all the Prisoners of Zion without delay.

 
Bibi's Palin: By Dr. Jason Gold

Elul, 5768
Sept., '08

Dr. Jason Gold is an active Manhigut Yehudit supporter and editor of the Jewish Leadership blog.

Give John McCain credit where credit is due. A so-called "maverick" and ideological Liberal-Independent in Republican clothing, his dance to the mythical Center (Left, in reality) was clearly not working and his campaign was floundering. In one bold stroke, he did what he needed to do. In picking Sarah Palin as his running mate, McCain re-energized the core conservative base of the Republican party and suddenly vaulted ahead of Obama in the polls. You can talk all you want about Palin's appeal to women and her folksy style, but she is what McCain is not; a card-carrying conservative to the core who has the Republican DNA that McCain clearly lacks.

Binyamin ("Bibi") Netanyahu is Israel's John McCain. Bibi heads Likud, the largest party in Israel, the nationalist Right-leaning party that is truly a "mini-Israel," but Bibi clearly lacks Likud DNA. Evidence? Let's go back to the general elections of 2005. Political experts weigh in and state that Bibi will win if he leans more rightward. So what does he do? He plunges ahead in an attempt to find Israel's mythical Center, deviates the Likud to the Left on all national and security issues in order to clone the Likud in Kadima's style. It's a master strategy and a winner... for Kadima. Ehud Olmert, a shy(ster) lawyer and empty suit, wins the Prime Ministerial chair as head of the one-issue Disengagement party (or as it has now come to be known the expulsion-to-save-Ariel-Sharon's-rear-end-from-indictment party), while his mentor cools his body and brain in vegetative hibernation.

Fast forward to 2008. As Tzipi Livni will now attempt to form a government that will give away everything and the kitchen sink (no matter what Shas says), Bibi clearly is intent on proving me right when I tell his supporters he will never change. He attempts to shove leftists such as Dan Meridor and Uzi Dayan onto the Likud election list, as well as preserving the membership of about 3,700 people who are registered for both Likud and Kadima in order to again move leftward towards that mythical Israeli Center.

Why is Bibi doing this when again political experts are telling him to move Right? Well, ironically enough, Bibi is trying to hurt the Likud's Sarah Palin (in a political sense of course).

That's right, folks, Bibi's and the Likud's version of Sarah Palin is none other than Moshe Feiglin of the Manhigut Yehudit faction in Likud. See Bibi watch Feiglin slowly climb the Likud ladder to become the second most powerful figure in Likud with an unswerving, incorruptible message of non-coercive faith-based leadership, in order to form a true Jewish state. See Bibi watch Moshe's message take hold and begin to resonate with the Likudniks, both observant and secular. See Bibi try every dirty trick in the book to have Moshe thrown out of Likud, or at least marginalized and shoved further down a list in which no less a political expert than Ayala Hasson of Popolitika states that Moshe is within the Likud top five. See Bibi know that Moshe will not be his poodle or cut any deals with him. See Bibi realize that it is Moshe and not he who truly possesses the Likud DNA of leadership. Despite political experts telling Bibi to stop the dirty tricks and embrace Feiglin, rather than trying to hurt him, as it will help both him and Likud, see Bibi not listen and repeat the mistakes of 2005 all over again.

You see, Bibi, you have your own Sarah Palin right there in the Likud party - Moshe Feiglin. With him, you could reach out to many people on the Right and assure yourself and Likud victory in an upcoming election. But you also realize that Moshe will not toe the line for you in government and that you will not be able to silence him or buy him off. So you continue on your dysfunctional way and even talk of forming a unity government with the virtuoso pianist and part-time Defense Minister Ehud Barak. He who, except for the grace of G-d and Yasser Arafat's mind-numbing homicidal tendencies and Jew-hatred, almost succeeded in giving away most of Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Jerusalem while acting as Prime Minister.

Unity governments never work, Bibi. But then again, why should I expect you to prove me wrong? You have not disappointed me yet. I cannot wait to see what happens if Livni does form a government. Then, if there is some relative peace and quiet, she will become media darling number one and you will sink into irrelevancy, as the 80% of people who say they will vote for you but don't trust you may just turn to someone else to lead the Likud. That someone? Your Sarah Palin, Bibi.

Torah Sparks: Rosh Hashanah








Man is judged only according to his present actions (Rosh Hashanah 16a). Even if they are completely absorbed in sin throughout the year, G-d Himself testifies that Israel desires to fulfill His will. Hence, if they repent as the Day of Judgment approaches and fulfill G-d's will, they are judged as they are, and not as they were.
