HaPo'el haMisrachi ( Hebrew הפועל המזרחי, lit. Workers of Mizrahi ) was a Zionist - Orthodox Labor Party of Israel and a predecessor of the National Religious Party ( Mafdal ).

history

HaPoel HaMisrachi was founded in Jerusalem in 1922 under the Zionist slogan "Torah va'Avodah" (Torah and Labor) as a religious-Zionist organization. She supported the establishment of kibbutzim and moshavim because, in her opinion, these were commanded by the halacha . The name comes from Misrachi , as an acronym for Merkaz Ruchani ( Hebrew מרכז רוחני), lit. Spiritual center .

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 HaMisrachi under the name HaChasit haDatit haMe'uchedet (United Religious Front). The electoral alliance won 16 seats in the first Knesset in the election , seven of which were provided by HaPoel HaMisrachi, and thus became the third largest parliamentary group in the Knesset after Mifleget Poalei Eretz Israel (Mapai) and Mapam . In the newly formed government , Chaim-Moshe Schapira became Minister of Health , Minister of Immigration and Minister of the Interior . 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 different views had been clarified, the second government was formed, with the participation of HaPoel HaMisrachi, led by David Ben-Gurion . Chaim Moshe Shapira took over the three ministries again.

For the second election on July 30, 1951, HaPoel HaMisrachi ran without a partner and won eight seats in the Second Knesset . When the government was formed with David Ben-Gurion as Prime Minister, Chaim-Moshe Schapira took over the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Religion . Josef Burg took over the Ministry of Health . When the government cabinet was newly formed in 1952 and 1954 during the second legislative period, Chaim-Moshe Schapira continued to take over the Ministry of Religion and the Ministry of Welfare . Josef Burg took over the post office . In the fourth government during the legislative period, Chaim-Moshe Schapira took over the Ministry of the Interior in addition to the two aforementioned ministries, and Josef Burg remained Minister of Post.

In the third election on July 26, 1955, HaPo'el haMisrachi joined an electoral alliance with the HaMisrachi party under the name of the National Religious Front . The electoral alliance won eleven seats in the third Knesset , nine of which went to HaPo'el 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 .
