Last year's elections significantly strengthened the Manhigut Yehudit faction - both within the Likud and in Israeli politics in general. Manhigut Yehudit already wields considerable political influence, but for obvious reasons, most of that influence must remain concealed behind the scenes.
One excellent example that we can talk about is Manhigut Yehudit's influence in ensuring MK Uri Ariel's election to the Committee for Appointment of Judges. Ariel's election would not have been possible without Manhigut Yehudit. It is a strong blow to the "state of all its citizens" proponents. The fact that there is now a "rightist" majority on the committee hampers former Chief Justice Aharon Barak's ability to continue to clone Israel's justice system in his own anti-Semitic image.
Between elections, people often wonder what Manhigut Yehudit does in the interim. The very fact that so many people are anxious to know what we are doing is testimony to great anticipation. The previous elections gave us just a taste of the faith-based revolution toward which we are progressing. The tremendous interest displayed by the media in the face-off between Netanyahu and Feiglin reflected the basic understanding that Feiglin represents alternative leadership that is already taking its first steps into Israeli reality. People want to know what Manhigut Yehudit is doing because they want to re-experience the Jewish revolution in-the-making.
This is where our patience must come into play. When the sea is at its low ebb and our ship is beached on the sand, our role is to prepare it to ride the Jewish revolution wave. High tide always comes and each time that it does, it pushes us closer to our leadership destination.
Now is the time to work hard; to register friends and family and to bring word of the Jewish leadership revolution to every Jewish household. We will prepare our ship to ride the wave and with G-d's help, it will carry us straight to leadership of Israel!
