A haredi party launched on 19 July 2026 by Moti Leitner out of Derech, the municipal faction he built in Beit Shemesh. It runs on haredim who work and plans to join the right-wing bloc. Young men learning all day are protected, and haredim who are not learning all day serve. Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer heads its rabbinic council.
