Rabbi Meir Porush ((ヘブライ語:מאיר פרוש), born 11 June 1955) is an Israeli politician who currently serves as a member of the Knesset for the ultra-orthodox Agudat Yisrael faction of United Torah Judaism, and as Deputy Minister of Education. ==Biography== Born in Jerusalem, his father Rabbi Menachem Porush (1916–2010) was one of the longest-serving Knesset members. Meir was educated in a yeshiva. After leaving yeshiva Porush served in the IDF and today supports further Haredi participation in military service. Before entering the Knesset, he served as a member of Jerusalem City Council for thirteen years, and was at one stage deputy mayor of Jerusalem. He was first elected to the Knesset in the 1996 elections as an Agudat Yisrael candidate on the United Torah Judaism list, and was appointed Deputy Minister of Housing in Binyamin Netanyahu's first government. Porush retained his seat in the 1999 elections and chaired the Knesset inquiry into financial problems of local councils. After Ariel Sharon won a special election for Prime Minister in 2001 he was appointed Deputy Minister of Housing and Construction. He retained his seat in the 2003 elections. In 2005 he caused controversy by saying that then PM Ariel Sharon reminded him of Benito Mussolini. He was re-elected again in 2006, and ran for Mayor of Jerusalem in 2008, losing to secular politician Nir Barkat, by 50% to 42%. Porush retained his Knesset seat in the 2009 elections, and was appointed Deputy Minister of Education in Netanyahu's second government. However, he resigned on 6 February 2011 as part of a seat rotation agreement. He was re-elected again in 2013 and 2015, and was appointed Deputy Minister of Education in the Netanyahu's fourth government formed in May 2015. Porush lives in Jerusalem with his wife and twelve children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meir Porush」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
