Ellen informed me, among others on her mailing list, that the Likud is following the example of Ron Nachman, who has been
Gevalt! Keep them out!!
World Likud invited Evangelicals to join their
Board of Governors. the PR
is incredibly slick (see below links). Wish the
Jewish State's Likud Party
could appeal to their own people like this:

Bibi is being challenged by Danny Dannon, World
Likud Chairman and the new
darling of our Christian friends, but they just
love Feglin, too....
-----
Not surprisingly, the American religious right
loves Feiglin. Here's part
of what Watchmen's Warnings (part of "Capitol
Hill Prayer Alert") had to
say about him:
He is not a Christian and we are not endorsing
his religious and/or
political beliefs. Yet he has much to say of
value. His dedication to the
Jewish Scriptures, and his desire to see them
impact Israeli culture and
government are worthy of respect. We need to pray
for this man - that he
will come to know Jesus Christ as Messiah.

World Likud head seeks evangelical funding
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS
World Likud chairman Danny Dannon is going to the
United States next week to
take part in an evangelical Christian
fund-raising campaign to bolster his
campaign for party leadership.
Dannon, who will be traveling to Texas next
weekend, is facing off against
Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu in next month's
internal party primaries.
Dannon said that he was proud to accept
contributions from evangelicals
"whose ideology about the Land of Israel is equal
to [his]," rather than
receive funding from Israeli building
contractors.
Netanyahu, who was long a star in the evangelical
Christian world, has
disappointed Christian Zionists as he takes a
more centrist view to pander
to Israeli voters, Dannon said.

Ron Nachman, who has been making Ariel into a Christian city
Hi, I would appreciate it if you remove this slanderous post from your blog. This claim that Nachman is turning Ariel into a Christian city is an outright misinformed lie. I invite you to Ariel to really find out what is going on rather than the heresay in the post.
There is a very strong Christian presence in Ariel, and it's no secret.
I will change the wording of my original sentence, but it doesn't change the situation on the ground.
Praying that Feiglin accepts jesus christ as his messiah...isn't that like working for a demotion?
Your claim of 'strong' presence is relative. It is no secret that the mayor is playing the line very carefully by being friendly with the Xians and accepting there money to build the city, but he is certainly not motivating Xtian activity in the city. There is undeniably a presence, there are a couple of active volunteers working the streets and since over 50% of the city is ex-Soviet, then there is also a relatively sizeable non-Jewish population, most of which frankly, want to be left alone.
And if I already brought up that issue, then there is probably no one to blame for that situation except the knitted kipas and Haredim who in the 1990s basically turned their backs on and ignored the olim. I promise you that if more of 'us' would have gotten to the Russians and there would be a lot more religious people in Israel and maybe there would still be a Gush Katif too.
josh, there's at least one functioning church from what I've been told.
There have been many crocheted kippot types and yishuvim which did a lot to try to help the olim. But don't forget that the numbers were massive and many non-Jews of all ages arrived.
The USSR in its last years was hell and non-Jews were willing to pay anything to get Jewish papers to make aliyah. Don't forget that even the Jews had little or no Jewish knowledge and memories.
