Rabbi Chaim Amsellem Looking To Get Back Into Knesset Via Bayit Yehudi


amsWhile he did not get back into Knesset running under his own party, former Shas MK Rabbi Chaim Amsellem has not given up and announced he plans to run for a slot in the Bayit Yehudi party.

Amsellem was ousted from Shas and then went on to launch his own party, which failed to earn sufficient votes to enter Knesset. He then turned to Likud but backed out and now, his new home is the Bayit Yehudi party. He calls on all Sephardim to join him and find “your home” in the Bayit Yehudi party.

In response to Rabbi Amsellem’s call, the party released the following statement: “We are delighted to welcome Rabbi Chaim Amsellem as part of the Bayit Yehudi drive to the leadership of the state. A revolution is taking place in the education system due to the Biton Report initiated by Education Minister Naftali Bennett, and it is only natural for Rabbi Amsellem to find his place in the expanded Bayit Yehudi party that belongs to all of Am Yisrael”.
