This man is respectable to me in his attire. Wonder his politics. Will follow.
Wonder what he’ll do about the yearly filth parade passing through the holy city?
There is only one candidate who will fight the toeiva parade and that’s Aryeh King. He was the only council guy to vote against putting up the toeiva flags around the city of Jerusalem. Non of the chareidi council members cared. If I lived in Israel I would vote King all the way.
