The party of the students of Rabbi Yoram Abergel, who built a network of kollels and schools around Netivot and died in 2015. A committee of his students announced the Knesset run at his graveside in June 2026. The name is built from his own. אחי stands for Chacham Yoram Abergel and reads as the Hebrew for my brother. The party pairs it with רעי, my friend, for Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. Rabbi Yuval Elimelech, who runs the movement schools, is the chairman and the head of the list. The movement broke with Shas locally in 2023, took seven of the seventeen seats on the Netivot council the following February, and that July moved two of its schools out of the Shas network into the state-haredi stream, taking some 1,150 pupils into the core curriculum. It is running nationally on that fight. Its line is that a young man genuinely learning full time should be left alone and everyone else should enlist, which no other haredi party says. Its rabbinic authority is the founder's son, Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Abergel, who was arrested in August 2025 on suspicion of sexual offences and released to house arrest. He denies the allegations, and the file has sat with prosecutors since December 2025 with no charges brought.
The list, who comes with them
The list is not set yet. No list has been published and no order has been set. Rabbi Yuval Elimelech has been presented as the head of it since the party was announced in June, and he is the only candidate the movement has confirmed. Two more names have been floated in reporting, Yisrael Aflalo of Netivot and Avi Dayan, a former Shas councillor in Elad, but neither has been confirmed and neither is listed here. Whether there is a list at all is also still open. Erez Aharon, who runs the movement institutions, has held talks with Religious Zionism, Otzma Yehudit and Noam about joining one of their slates in return for three realistic slots, putting the movement's strength at about 150,000 votes. That number is the movement's own count of its pamphlet subscribers and book buyers, and no pollster has tested it. Noam said in July that it was in no such talks.
Rank on the slip decides who enters the Knesset. No pollster asks about this list, so there is no seat projection to set that rank against.
