Former Minister Silvan Shalom unveiled last weekend the secret night meeting at the home of the late Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, which led to the formation of the second Netanyahu government.
“Yesterday I came to comfort the Kanievsky family following the death of the late Rabbi Kanievsky,” said Shalom.
“I used to come to Rabbi Kanievsky many times to receive his blessing and advice and discuss various issues with him. Thus, before the 2009 election, I came with the then prime ministerial candidate, Benjamin Netanyahu, to the rabbi’s house to discuss the possibility of the Torah Judaism faction joining the Likud government. “.

Shalom recalled that “the Likud and Torah Judaism were in crisis at the time, in part following their removal from the coalition and the economic decrees of the second Sharon government.”
“Following my close relationship with Rabbi Kanievsky’s son and grandson, I was able to bring about a secret night meeting at the rabbi’s home, following which Torah Jewry joined the Netanyahu government in 2009, in a close political alliance that lasted many years. Rabbi Kanievsky’s wisdom, modesty and leadership The many and me among them. “
