Over 400 Pack Manhigut Yehudit Event at Ramat Gan's City Tower Hotel

Here is a story from the Jerusalem Post on Monday night's Manhigut Yehudit Dinner in Ramat Gan.  In spite of predictions of stormy weather,  Manhigut supporters packed the ballroom for a night of electric excitement.   One Manhigut activist who attended wrote to me and reported, "Last night was very exciting  and there was something in the pure atmosphere there that gave us power for the coming year.   Moshe is leading us for something good and I'm not the only one feeling that.  The Israeli media is full with garbage and it was good for all of us (more than 400 attended) to hear something real.   It wasn't just to hear something real but to hear it from a guy that actually holds the key for the solution and is taking action on the right field."  There you have it folks - the news direct from our brothers and sisters in Israel.  We will have more details soon and photos and G-d willing video too.  Check back.  Meanwhile here is a fairly sparse report from Gil Hoffman at the Jerusalem Post.   If you want more detail, write Gil a polite email and ask for a more complete report.  See the link on the story as follows.  Click here  Here is the relevant part of the article entitled "Livni's Brother Praises Moshe Feiglin"}
 
Kadima leader Tzipi Livni's brother praised far-right Likud activist Moshe Feiglin at the annual dinner of Feiglin's Manhigut Yehudit (Jewish Leadership) ideological forum at Ramat Gan's City Tower Hotel on Monday night.   Eli Livni, a lifelong Likud member who is secular, received a prize at the event for promoting Jewish education for secular students at the religious school that he runs.   He told The Jerusalem Post at the event that he "supports most of Manhigut Yehudit's political agenda."

Asked what he thought about the multiple speakers at the event who declared Feiglin Israel's next prime minister,  Livni downplayed it, saying, "So what? I know someone else who thinks that," referring to his sister.

Feiglin predicted at the event that just like the Iron Curtain unexpectedly fell, the "elites" who he said run the country would eventually fall and men of faith would take over Israel's leadership.   "How can it be that [Iranian president Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad goes free around the world and no one thinks about arresting him while Israeli ministers fear going abroad?" Feiglin asked the crowd. "The reason for this nadir is not connected to the conflict with our neighbors. The problem is that we are suffering from leaders who lack faith."
