Avi Wortzman

Avraham "Avi" Wortzman (Hebrew: אבי וורצמן; born 29 October 1970) is an Israeli politician and a former member of the Knesset for the Jewish Home.

After his army service he returned to Beersheba and founded the Beit Moria Garin Torani in 1993, which worked in the education sector.

In 2008 Wortzman headed the United Religious List in the municipal elections in Beersheba, with the party winning three seats.

[4] He entered the Knesset after the party won 12 seats, and was appointed Deputy Minister of Education on 18 March, a position he held until 4 December 2014.

Although he returned to the Knesset on 3 December 2015 as a replacement for Yinon Magal, who resigned because of sexual harassment allegations against him,[7] he lost his seat three days later after deciding to remain in his job at Aleh Negev, a choice that causes Bennett to resign as minister, which automatically caused him to return to the Knesset due to a recent law amendment and put Wortzman back to the top of the candidate list.
