The Jewish Home party will hold a "conceptual conference" this coming September, during which members of the party's central committee will discuss key issues in the Jewish Home platform, such as public education, social periphery and equality of opportunity.
Preparations for the conference began on Thursday evening with a special meeting in the office of Jewish Home chairman and Education Minister Naftali Bennett, attended by representatives of the party leadership and the steering committee responsible for putting together the conference program.
The conference takes place against the backdrop of recent events and as a response to the complex public issues on the agenda.
The party stated that "the Jewish Home constantly maintains the balance between preserving the party's moral basis and the need and desire to bring together a broad and significant public that identifies with the values of the party. From time to time, we must take a break and deal with the core issues that underlie the values of the party.”
"Only the Jewish Home has the potential to maintain a united religious Zionism and at the same time to appeal to a broad public that identifies with its principles and values in order to meet the challenges we face," it added.
