Hiddush's thorough analysis of the 2015 coalition agreement clauses on matters of religion & state is now available!
Coalition agreements were signed last night between the Likud and United Torah Judaism, and Kulanu, the party of Moshe Kahlon. Netanyahu’s deadline to form his government is imminent.
Often, we are asked, "why is it, if the majority of Israelis feel this way, that the body politic does not heed them?"
With the pending March 2015 elections, we at Hiddush find ourselves the only "warriors" trying to stem the flood of religious manipulation and corruption for political gain.
The elections are more than three months away, but the religious parties are already milking the government for all it's worth. And on top of that, rabbis are calling upon the Chief Rabbinate to support excommunication notices for those who turn to the civil courts.
In advance of the March 17th elections, Hiddush has turned to Justice Joubran, the Chair of the Central Elections Commission, urging him to take a strong stand against the ultra-Orthodox parties' manipulation of voters' religious beliefs... enough corruption already!
Our most recent poll indicates that 62% of voters do not want either of the ultra-Orthodox parties in the next government coalition, and 74% do not want to increase funding for yeshivas. But the big question is - who will the undecided voters choose on March 17?
Netanyahu dissolved his government coalition and called for new elections in March 2014. His likely partners in the next coalition will be the ultra-Orthodox parties. Still, two-thirds of Israelis oppose this unholy union. Please support Hiddush so that we can continue the urgent fight for religious freedom.

After the elections for chief rabbis of Jerusalem, all that remains is to hope that the new Chief Rabbis not cause lasting damage to Judaism and the residents of Jerusalem.

Several occurrences over the past several weeks signify both opportunities for progress and serious challenges.
The challenges are constant, but so is our determination!
