Naftali Bennett, after he was elected in 2012 to lead the Jewish Home party.

This trend is pulling in secular Jews who feel robbed of their Judaism. They are scattered among the left wing kibbutzim, in towns and villages, searching for a path to their Jewish identity – and they’re finding satisfying answers in the Jewish Home. They’re not necessarily Shabbat observers, but some do check out the synagogues that open in their neighborhoods. They feel that they’re good Jews, despite their see-through yarmulke, the kippa of heaven. They, too, will be joining the trend that’s changing a party no one counted into the third largest party in Israel.

It’s not over till it’s over – but it’s not just an idle dream, either.
