While chareidim have all but cut ties with Naftali Bennett and the Bayit Yehudi party, journalist Manny Gira-Schwartz reports the Sadigura Rebbe Shlita recently met with Minister Naftali Bennett in Ra’anana.

The meeting reportedly took place two weeks ago and a number of “senior Bayit Yehudi members” took part. The meeting was arranged by a person close to the rebbe who lives near Bennett.

According to the report released by Kav HaChashifut, the two plan to meet again in the near future and in preparation for that meeting, the rebbe has met with the Belzer Rebbe Shlita and the Gerrer Rebbe Shlita. The rebbes called on the Sadigura to do whatever he can to persuade Bayit Yehudi to soften its position vis-à-vis the chareidi draft.
