Manhigut Yehudit (Jewish Leadership) in Hebrew is a movement begun by Moshe Feiglin to make Israel a more Jewish state. It is presently a faction of the leading Likud party.

Manhigut Yehudit failed to receive any Knesset representation (according to polls they would have gotten around the 38th seat)due to the law stating that no person convicted of a crime containing moral turpitude within the last 7 years may be elected to the Knesset. Moshe Feiglin was convicted of blocking roads in protest at the Oslo agreements in the early 1990's while a co-leader of the Zo Artzeinu movement which was formed to fight against Israeli land handovers. There was considerable controversy regarding whether blocking roads in political protest contained moral turpitude.

Elasticsoul 21:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC) 1. Can the information above be included in the piece? 2. What is Jewish identity? The original article states that this party wants to make Jewish identity the Israeli culture.

  • Elasticsoul: Yes, the above belongs in the main article, and I will place it there (after some editing). And what they mean by "Jewish identity" is basically Orthodox Judaism as per the Torah. IZAK 09:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
