Getting stronger? Benjamin Netanyahu is not known as a man of faith, but in a new Likud video, Netanyahu can be seen posing in a synagogue, wearing a white knitted cap and tallit. In the video, he is seen next to the well-known cantor Ohad Moshkowitz who sings the blessing ‘Mi Shabarach’ to the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces.
Netanyahu and Moskowitz were joined by a backing band, ‘Kippa Live’, which accompanies the two. The sharp-eyed will notice that Shmulik Silman, Idit Silman’s husband, and the one who was marked as one of the people who influenced her decision to dismantle the change government, is also standing behind. As I recall, only last week Netanyahu announced his departure from the Likud party.

The head of the Yeshiva who attacked Netanyahu: “Greatest of the many mistakes”
As you may recall, last Tuesday, statements were published by Rabbi Bonim Schreiber, head of the Netiv Yeda’ yeshiva and leaders of the Degal HaTorah movement, in which he harshly attacks Netanyahu on the basis of his religious views and beliefs. “We need to know the simple fact, not as bigotry and the like at all, but as a real reality that is not clear. When it comes to one of the greatest mistakes of the many, who for years in his position at the head of the state was an oppressor of Israel, uprooted the Torah and proved that he had no part in the God of Israel.”
The rabbi added: “As we have seen in the education of the children and other matters, there should be a tremendous hatred towards him that cannot be measured, and how is it appropriate to feel some kind of feeling of a certain connection as if there is something in common between him and the keepers of the Torah? The hatred towards him and towards those like him should be without regard to the hatred we have towards “Zera Ishmael”.
