Idit Silman tapped as replacement for Yifat Erlich in Jewish Home spot reserved for female candidate
Jewish Home party activist Idit Silman has been chosen to replace Yifat Erlich at the number three spot on the national religious faction’s slate for the upcoming Knesset elections.
Erlich bowed out this morning following the party’s decision to merge with the extremist Otzma Yehudit last night.
Silman is the head of the Jewish Home’s women’s forum, a member of the faction’s secretariat, and the director of marketing at Clalit Health Services.
The 38-year-old mother of three lives in the central town of Rehovot.
Silman will take the spot on the Jewish Home list reserved for a female candidate and will be joined by former MK Orit Strock as the only women on the list made up of the Jewish Home, National Union and Otzma Yehudit.
