Nine MKs are Graduates of Yeshivot/Ulpanot Bnei Akiva

As an old Bnei Akiva member from England, I'm proud that nine of the 120 members of Israel's new Knesset are graduates of the Bnei Akiva religious Zionist higher education system.

They include three graduates of Yeshivat Nechalim (right next door to Kibbutz Beerot Yitzhak where I did ulpan back in the early 70s):

Uri Orbach (Habayit Hayehudi party)
Zvulun Orlev (Habayit Hayehudi party)
Avraham Michaeli (Shas party)

Gilad Erdan (Likud) attended Yeshivat Netiv Meir in Jerusalem

Michael Ben Ari (National Union party)and Yaakov (Ketzele) Katz (National Union party) attended Yeshivat Kfar Haroeh

Tzipi Hotubeli (Likud) is a graduate of Ulpana Tel Aviv

and Leah Nes (Likud) graduated from Ulpana Kfar Pines
