Tamar Yonah took a second look at Yesh Atid and likes what she sees though she suggests caution. But she recommends this maiden speech by Rabbi Dov Lipman who is 17th on their list.

Rabbi Lipman gave a speech at the knesset, and let me say, I was extremely moved and touched by his words, spirit, and idealism. Though I may not agree with everything his party stands for, I could very much relate to his idealism, desire for Jewish unity, and the concept of Torah V’Avodah (Torah study and working). I urge you all to watch this video below and pass it on, because whether you voted for his party or not, you will be inspired and impressed by his speech, as the other knesset members who came up afterwards (even from other political parties) to shake his hand and congratulate him.
Beautiful speech.
Perhaps right here we can start practicing what this man is saying.
There has been so much division even on this virtual meeting place.
Let’s remember that we are all Jews.
That at least those who hate us don’t care if we are religious or not and Weather we are “progressive,” or “conservative.”
I we Jews can stand together, even Obama will stop pressuring us.
Note that Lipman does not mention Judea and Samaria,and the Jewish communities there – which he opposes.
Party fig leaf. Wake up!
