Dr. Yaffe is a political psychology researcher at Tel Aviv University, who has collaborated with Harvard University on a study of the haredi lifestyle. Party leader Moti Leitner expressed his welcome for her joining the Knesset list. Dok Yaffe has dedicated over 30 years to advancing Charedi brothers and sisters. In contrast, the Reservists-Economic party, led by Yoaz Hendel and Yaron Zelekha, has announced their list with Einat Wilf as the third spot candidate. Wilf, previously a member of the Knesset from 2010 to 2013, is considered a strong asset due to her political experience and influence in Israeli society.",
