Meimad (Hebrew: מימד, an acronym for Medina Yehudit, Medina Demokratit (מדינה יהודית, מדינה דמוקרטית), lit., Jewish State, Democratic State)[3] is a moderate to left-wing religious Zionist political party in Israel.[4][5][6] Founded in 1999, it is based on the ideology of the Meimad movement founded in 1988 by Rabbi Yehuda Amital. It was formed by religious Zionists who supported the peace process and believed the National Religious Party had drifted too far to the right.[7][8]
At the national level, it was in alliance with the Labour Party, and until the 2006 election, received the 10th spot on the Labour Knesset list. Meimad ended the pact with the 2009 election, formed an alliance with the Green Movement, and failed to win enough votes to be elected to the Knesset.[citation needed]

What Meimad offers them that other left-wing parties do not, [Melchior] adds, is a platform that "addresses issues from a Jewish perspective."
