HaMisrahi ( Hebrew המזרחי, Misrachi , an acronym of Merkaz Ruhani ( Hebrew מרכז רוחני), lit. Religious Center ) was a party in Israel and one of the founding parties of the National Religious Party ( Mafdal ).

history

The religious Zionist Misrachi movement was founded in Vilnius in 1902 . A union affiliated with the Misrachi movement was founded in 1921 under the name HaPo'el haMisrachi . In the League of Nations mandate area of ​​Palestine , the movement changed into the HaMisrachi party .

In the first election in Israel after the declaration of independence on January 25, 1949, the party took part in an electoral alliance with the parties Agudat Jisra'el , Poalei Agudat Jisra'el and HaPo'el haMisrachi under the name HaChasit haDatit haMe'uchedet (United Religious Front ) part. The electoral alliance won 16 seats in the first Knesset in the election , four of which were provided by HaMisrachi, making it the third largest parliamentary group in the Knesset after Mifleget Poalei Eretz Israel (Mapai) and Mapam . In the first coalition government under Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion , Jehuda Leib Maimon became Minister for Religion and Veterans . The United Religious Front left the ruling coalition due to differing views on religious education and the dissolution of the Ministry of Rationing and Supply, as well as the intended appointment of an entrepreneur as Minister of Trade and Industry . After the differing views were resolved, the second government was formed, with the participation of HaMisrachi, led by David Ben-Gurion. Jehuda Leib Maimon was again Minister for Religion and Veterans.

For the second election on July 30, 1951, HaMisrachi ran without a partner and won two seats in the Knesset. When the government was formed with David Ben-Gurion as Prime Minister, Mordechai Nurock took over the post of post minister and David-Zwi Pinkas that of the transport minister . When the government cabinet was re-established in 1952 , 1954 and 1955 during the second legislative period, no member of the HaMisrachi took up a ministerial post, but supported the government in the government coalition .

In the third election on July 26, 1955, HaMisrachi joined an electoral alliance with the HaPo'el haMisrachi party under the name of the National Religious Front . The electoral alliance won eleven seats in the third Knesset , two of which went to HaMisrachi, making it the fourth largest parliamentary group in the Knesset. In June 1956, the partners of the electoral alliance merged to form the National Religious Party , which existed until the founding of the HaBajit haJehudi (The Jewish House) party on November 18, 2008, when the National Union (NU), Moledet , Tkuma and the National Religious Party merged .
