The Degel HaTorah party is amid a storm of activity as bids are now being accepted for a  number of top jobs in the party, according to a report that was published in BeChadrei Charedim website. The bids are for jobs that are being sought after by members of both factions which make up the party.

According to the report, the jobs available include, department heads inside Jerusalem’s City Hall including the head of Chareidi Education in the city and the head of religious culture in the city. Both of which are highly coveted positions.

The report also mentioned that an anonymous party hired private detectives to dig up dirt on one of the candidates for the positions. This company was the same one used to nullify the candidacy of Yitzchak Pindrus from running for the position of Mayor of Elad.

The committee for bidding interviewed all of the potential candidates for the positions on Monday and is expected to publish its findings sometime this week. The battle within Degel HaTorah is expected to last long after the committee’s decision has been made public.
