MK Avi Maoz established the National Authority for Jewish Identity. Maoz says the authority will promote a Judaism that is welcoming to the weak.
The idea of establishing a national authority for Jewish identity aroused in him reflections and counter-reflections. He believes with all his heart that true Judaism is also the concern for the underdog, and that the authority should promote this concern for those who are less well-heeled than the powerful. The authority will help those who need it, he says, but not those who don't.
