Halakha Party (formerly United eIsrael Party)
Leroy Bloodshed
As the newly elected Party President of the formly named United eIsraeli Party, thank you party members for your votes of confidence, it is with great joy to honor Jews from around the globe by renaming our political organization Halakha Party - literal translation is "the path" or "the way of walking"
Hala...what? Historically, Halakha served many Jewish communities as an enforceable avenue of civil and religious law. In the modern era, Jewish citizens may be bound to Halakha only by their voluntary consent. Under contemporary Israeli law, however, certain areas of Israeli family and personal status law are ruled according to Halakha.
Hala...huh? Halakha constitutes the practical application of the 613 mitzvot (commandments) in the Torah, (the five books of Moses, aka "Written Law"😉
, the Mishnah and the Talmud (the "Oral law"😉
, and Shulchan Aruch (Jewish "Code of Law".)
The Halakha is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of human life, both corporeal and spiritual. Its laws, guidelines, and opinions cover a vast range of situations and principles, in the attempt to realize what is implied by the central Biblical commandment to "be holy as I your God am holy".
Halakha is developed and applied by various halakhic authorities, rather than one sole "official voice". Halakha has been developed and pored over throughout the generations since before 500 BCE, in a constantly expanding collection of religious literature consolidated in the Talmud. First and foremost it forms a body of intricate judicial opinions, legislation, customs, and recommendations, many of them passed down over the centuries.
So what your saying is? It is my ultimate goal to see that this party transforms into the political organization that shows Israel the "path" and produces the leadership that "walks" our nation to prosperity.
What are your parties political views? This will be announced at a later time and date after party members have had an opportunity to express their thoughts.
What can you announce? We will be joining United Zionist Socialist Party, Consolidation Party, Israeli Workers Party and the Free Democratic Party to form the National Unity League. This is very exciting as all parties will join the UZSP forums (which will become the NUL forums) which will become a central location where coalition members can discuss the issues that face our country.
What's your party symbol? It's the Star of David in which contains the Twelve Tribes of Israel
Everyone has an open invitation to join the Halakha Party http://www.erepublik.com/en/party/halakha-party-2412/1 in creating a better Israel, a better future and a path on which we'll stroll to success. Keep an eye out for a follow up article which will be following shortly.
May Israels Star Shine Bright

Nice concept for a party. Though it might have been nice check with your members first before renaming their politcal force overnight!
Whilst I respect the opinions and judgements in the Talmud... I hope that this party will not be a theocratic one that seeks strict adherence to everything the Halakha says - after all there is plenty in the Halakha which needs 'adapting' before translating to the modern world! 🙂

Have Sababa been invited to join the national unity league?

@Franz - Didn't know you'd joined the party or I would have pm'd you for your input 🙂
The name is symbolic, read what you want into it, we had Kadima and Lukid parties once here and they didn't mirror their real life Israeli counterparts, don't know why we'd be any different.
Why don't you ask a representative of Sababa, I'm not a member of that party nor privy to such information.
Good Luck in your new way 🙂
SHALOM
Well that put me in my place! 🙂
Good luck with the new party.

So it's not some ultra religious party that wants to force theocratic law?
It's just because you liked the name? 😛
Yeah, not sure I really like that name.
actually, I've INVITED all of those parties into the League, the name of which is only "working name". Once we have solidified membership the parties will come together and vote on an official name.
No Sababa was not invited to the League, but that is because their foreign and domestic policies are different.
I lol'd at SVV while bow to Leroy /o/
