Noam ( Hebrew : נעם, German : Lieblichkeit, Milde) is a right-wing Orthodox-Jewish , religious-Zionist party in Israel .

history

Noam was founded in July 2019 by a very conservative current within the religious-Zionist movement. The chairman of the party is Rabbi Dror Aryeh. The spiritual leader is Rabbi Zvi Thau, the founder and leader of the Har Hamor Yeshiva in Jerusalem . The party was eligible for parliamentary elections in September 2019 . After her campaign against LGBT people received national attention, she announced two days before the election that she would not run.

Israeli media brought the increase in the number of reported cases of hate speech and violence against the LGBT community also with the party's election campaign under the controversial slogan "Israel chooses to be normal." ("Israel chooses to be normal.") In connection.

Among other things, the party advocates the strengthening of the Jewish identity of the State of Israel, the protection of “traditional marriage and the family” and the introduction of same-sex marriage.
