Lists and Candidates - Platforms


Leading in Torah

The N.R.P. actively promotes Torah in Israel and strengthens national religious institutions: Zionist rabbinical training institutes, Zionist Kollels, Yeshivot gevohot, Hesder Yeshivot, Yeshiva high schools, and more. The N.R.P. encourages Zionist rabbis to take on active roles as teachers in Yeshivot, and as spiritual leaders in cities and in neighborhoods.

Leading in the I.D.F.

Our finest youth, distinguished by the colorful knitted kippot on their heads, serve in the elite commando and combat units in the I.D.F. The N.R.P. encourages its young men and women to do their share for the nation and the country by serving in the Army and in National Service, in the Hesder Yeshivot, in the pre-army academies, and in all the branches of the I.D.F.

Influencing in bringing people together

Religious and secular, Sephardim and Askenazim, left and left, old-times and new immigrants - we are all one people. The N.R.P. works toward national unity, absorption of immigration, and bringing people together from all sectors of the population. Without hatred and without coercion. Gently, pleasantly, and with a smile.

Influencing in all fields of endeavor

Wherever you look, you see them. Members of the national religious community, with the knitted kippot on their heads. In academia, in economic life, in the educational system, in hi-tech, medicine, the courts, the I.D.F., even in the media. Each one of them doing their bit of kiddush Hashem in daily endeavors.

Contributing faith

Inspired by love and faith, the national religious public devotes itself to the People of Israel, the Torah of Israel, and the Land of Israel. Realizing the religious Zionist vision is a supreme value for the generation of knitted kippot and the N.R.P. will continue to assist and support this goal.

Contributing in settlement

Settlement in all parts of the Land of Israel is the realization of the Divine precept of the return of the nation from exile to its homeland. The N.R.P. supports, strengthens, and works actively on behalf of the settlements of Judea, Samaria, Gaza, the Golan and the Jordan Valley, and the moshavim and kibbutzim.


Giving in Education

Only the N.R.P. can be counted on to instill Jewish and national values in the educational system, in kindergartens and schools, so that your children receive a Jewish and Zionist education. The N.R.P. will continue to support the national-religious school system, the Emunah day care centers, and the Zionist-religious youth movements:
Bnei Akiva, Ezra, and Ariel.

Giving to Eretz Israel

The core belief the Land of Israel for the People of Israel according to the Torah of Israe commits the N.R.P. to doing everything possible to further the security and integrity of the Land of Israel. The N.R.P. aspires to influence policy from within the government, and thus continue to safeguard Eretz Israel.

Torat Yisrael

Your kippa identifies you as a person who believes in the Torah and living in Israel means that you fulfill one of the principal mitzvot of the Torah every day.
The combined belief in Torah and the State of Israel was the driving force behind the establishment of the National Religious Party (N.R.P.); a force that has been active throughout the Zionist process and the establishment of the State of Israel. A force which has led to the N.R.P. historical achievements including the definition of the Jewish character of the Israel Defense Forces. And the list goes on. The work, however, has not been completed. There is still a long way to go in order to achieve the national religious goals established in the past, and to protect those that have already been attained.

Only the Torah can serve as a foundation for Jewish life in Eretz Yisrael, because the torah is the foundation for all Jewish life. The N.R.P. is the only party in Israel that follows the path that joins Religion to State and Judaism to Zionism.

As a religious person you really cannot vote for any other party, because the N.R.P. is the only party that believes in the same principles that you do!

Am Yisrael

Where is Am Yisrael? Where are the Jewish people for whom the State of Israel was established. Today, Jews are scattered throughout the four corners of the earth; in North America, Russia, Morocco, South Africa... Every year we lose more than 100,000 Jews through assimilation and even here, in Israel, there are times when we feels as though we have lost the feeling of being ;one nation.
The achievement of National Unity - between Jews in Israel and the Diaspora, and between Jews at opposite ends of the Israeli political spectrum - can only be achieved through Aliyah and a return to the original Zionist ideologies that created the State.
We must re-establish the concept of brotherhood and we must reach out and bridge the political, social and philosophical gaps that separate the nation. We must do this now, because National Unity is more than a political concept - it is a mitzvah!

National Unity can only be established in a nation that follows the basic tenets of Torah and believes in mutual respect - a nation that combines Judaism and Zionism. Only one party, the N.R.P., can bridge the gap between religious and secular Jews, between the political left and left, between the different Jewish ethnic communities, and between Jews in Israel and the Diaspora. It can accomplish this goal because it is a party that fulfills the Zionist dream by placing the emphasis on, and striving toward, national Unity, thus ensuring the existence of Am Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael.
Eretz Yisrael

Our religious and historical left to Eretz Yisrael, and our obligation to settle the land are Zionist principles that were once accepted by the whole nation.
These principles are no longer unanimously accepted and today, the political left challenges the very foundation upon which we built this country. What happened to Zionism? Why have our beliefs been pushed aside in the legitimate struggle of the Jewish people?
When one travels the unique path of Torah and Eretz Israel - of Judaism and Zionism - one cannot possible lose their way. In fact, the National Religious Party is proud to present a platform that continues firmly on the path of Torat Yisrael, Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael.

There will only be one state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea - the State of Israel.
No independent national Arab entity will exist within the limits of the Land of Israel.
; No part of Israel will be given over to a foreign government of authority.
The State of Israel will strive for peace and make every effort to attain it.

This is the N.R.P. political platform. Read it, because your vote will make the difference.

ERETZ YISRAEL

The concept of the Land of Israel is more than just a matter of security. Whoever does not believe in God, and in the Torah lacks the basis to take a strong stand in the struggle for Eretz Israel.

TORAT YISRAEL

The State of Israel was established so that we, the Jewish People, could live a full Jewish life. There is no Jewish life without Torah.

AM YISRAEL

National Unity is one of the pillars of Judaism and the Torah. Every element of the Jewish nation is important, and every element needs and complements the others.

Religious Zionist Rabbis Support the Mafdal

We Appeal to everyone who holds our country Jewish character and future dear to them to vote Mafdal, the National Religious Party,is striving courageously and devotedly to safeguard the Land of Israel, the Torah and the Unity of the Nation.

We pray for the fulfillment of the verse; ;Love the Truth and Peace.
