Deputy Defense Minister Rabbi Eli Ben Dahan, who is running for the leadership of the Jewish Home Party, spoke at the center's conference Thursday in Yad Binyamin.
"We are at one of the greatest crossroads of religious Zionism," said Ben Dahan. "Three weeks ago Bennett and Shaked left the ship and left the Jewish home without leadership. I declared my candidacy for the chairmanship of the party and my aim was to place the party in its proper place.
"At this time, religious Zionism and the Jewish home must be part of the leadership of the State of Israel. I promise that I will not leave the Jewish home, "added the deputy minister.
