Ultra-Orthodox Woman Finds Home in Israeli Labor Party
PERSPECTIVES | One woman's candidacy for Israel's Labor party is making headlines. Michal Zernowitski is 38-years-old, a feminist, a leftist and and ultra- Orthodox Jew. Meet the woman who is confounding prejudices in Israel. Our Julia Ganansia and Rotem Ben Hamo have the story.
Story:
With her wig and long skirt, Michal Zernowitski looks like thousands of other ultra-Orthodox women in Israel. But she's also different. She wants to get elected to the Israeli parliament, to represent Orthodox women. And she's chosen to do so in a most un-Orthodox manner – through the left-of-center Labor Party, not known for its popularity among the ultra-Orthodox community.
'The votes of the religious do not necessarily go to the religious parties. Some candidates vote for secular parties. Therefore, ha...

DAILY DOSE | Avi Gabbay, the leader of one of Israel's oldest parties, Labor, is facing an uphill battle to win the Israeli elections and to survive within his own party after ousting Tzipi Livni from his opposition coalition. What is the future of the once-proud party in Israel? Former Member of Israeli Parliament and former Israel Labor party member Colette Avital analyzes.
Story:
As Israel's national election season kicks off, the governing Likud party and the once dominant Labor party celebrated the beginning of campaign season with events attended by thousands of supporters.
Supporters of Israeli Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, or 'Likudniks' as they are often called, gathered at the Club Hotel in the southern port city of Eilat for an unofficial weekend retreat featuring many famous faces representing the party in Israel's current government.
Last year, Likud was fined NIS 350,000 for taking illegal campaign donations under the auspices of the annual event that carried the party's name. This year, 'Likudiada' became 'Leumiada' and event organizers have called it a gather of the 'national camp'.
Meanwhile, Labor leader Avi Gabbay on Thursday night addressed a crowd of thousands at the Tel Aviv Fairgrounds for the Labor party convention and kick off campaign event leading up to April elections, hoping to convince the crowd he is the party's best chance to defeat Netanyahu.
Before Gabbay spoke, Labor party secretary Eran Hermoni presented the party’s agenda while members of the crowd yelled criticisms of Gabbay.
Former party chairman Amir Peretz then took the microphone to endorse Gabbay’s leadership and introduce him as chairman.
Peretz called Gabbay 'our candidate for prime minister' and said his fellow members should 'not give a hand to splits and divides'.
'The public won’t remember what the fight was about but whether we were united or divided,' he said, addressing party leadership.
Many Labor supporters were stunned when last month Gabbay ended his party’s partnership with Hatnuah leader Tzipi Livni and dismantled the Zionist Union alliance.
The breakup, which played out live on television and stunned political veteran Livni, plunges Israel's opposition into further disarray as it struggles to mount a serious challenge to incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing partners in the April 9 vote.
Polls conducted in the wake of Gabbay’s controversial move projected the Labor party earning only seven or eight seats in parliament if ballots were cast today — a significant drop from the 24 seats the Zionist Union earned in the last elections.

PERSPECTIVES | One woman's candidacy for Israel's Labor party is making headlines. Michal Zernowitski is 38-years-old, a feminist, a leftist and and ultra- Orthodox Jew. Meet the woman who is confounding prejudices in Israel. Our Julia Ganansia and Rotem Ben Hamo have the story.

'The votes of the religious do not necessarily go to the religious parties. Some candidates vote for secular parties. Therefore, having religious representatives in secular parties is important, so that they carry the voice of these people. And for the good of Israel, a mixed-member representation in parliament is a must,' Zernowitski tells i24NEWS.
Nothing about Michal suggested she would become a member of the Labor Party. Married and a mother of four, Michal Zernowitski was born and raised in the religious town of Bnei Brak. She studied in Beit Yaakov, an Orthodox institution for young girls, and then entered the women's division at the Jerusalem College of Technology. After campaigning for United Torah Judaism, an ultra-Orthodox party, she crossed to the Labor Party, finding its views closest to her beliefs.
She became the first ultra-Orthodox candidate to run in the 2013 elections.
'I have always been involved, but when I looked for a political party, I realized there was no room for women in religious parties, and that the tenors of these parties did not want this to change at all,' she says.
The Labor party is often disconcerted by Michal Zernowitski's presence. She is questioned a lot about public transportation during the Sabbath, civil marriage or LGBT rights — subjects of disapproval among the ultra-Orthodox:
