The Knesset plenum has approved the Law for Mikvaot submitted by MK Moshe Gafni in its first vote, 28 to 18. Shas MKs were not present during the vote and their votes were offset. Gafni: “Mashiach can come. I’ve been in the Knesset for 27 years, and I don’t recall that Meretz ever helped the battle for mikvah.”
Tuesday the Reform movement representatives lodged a complaint with the Knesset Ethics committee over the recurrent "walk outs" of the charedi MK's. Degel Hatorah responds loud and clear.
Major drama taking place in Yahadut Hatorah: Deputy Education Minister MK Meir Porush will quit the Knesset today (Sunday) to allow Degel Hatorah MK Yakov Asher to take his place. With this dramatic step tensions between Degel Hatorah and Agudas Yisrael are expected to calm down.
While the division with Agudah intensifies, the possibility of a union between Degel and Shas first reported by Bechadrey heats up. We present here for the first time a photo documentary of a meeting between Chairman of Degel Hatorah Moshe Gafni and his chief colleague MK Uri Maklev, where it was said: At this time we will not say a word against Shas under any circumstances. The reason: the option of running on a joint ticket and disbandment of United Torah Judaism.
MKs Moshe Gafni and Yakov Litzman put their differences of opinion aside and rally to help a family in need at the hospital.
