The announcement of support was made during a meeting
attended by Mayor Rabbi Frankentahl, Deputy Mayor Rabbi
Yaakov Asher, Councilmen Rabbi Machbuv and Rabbi Almaliach
and Kuf Dalet heads Rabbi Avraham Turgeman and Rabbi Shay

phoned HaRav Yehuda Addes, who gave his blessings for the
cooperation and the completion of the move. The Mayor said he
was heartened by the announcement of support by the party,
which is now joining all of the other parties in support of
the City Council.
