How Charedi Politicians Are Born and Stillborn

Charedi politicians; where do they come from? Not all of them had money, not all of them were bench-warmers in Yeshiva, not all of them had connections.

It appears many of them started out managing a Gemach (money or item loans), as a Gabbai of a Shul, as a Gabbai of a Rebbe (with variations), etc.

So if you know a young member of a Charedi party, with a flair for organizing and managing and the will to power, I would recommend starting the opposition research early. This can be used simply for convincing them to stay away from politics. Play the long game.
