Noam (Hebrew: נעם, lit. 'Pleasantness'; officially known as Lazuz)^[2]^[5] is a far-right Orthodox Jewish, Religious Zionist political party in Israel, officially established in July 2019 by an extremely conservative faction in the Religious Zionist community inspired by Rabbi Zvi Thau and his Har Hamor Yeshiva. The party's main goal is to advance policies against LGBT rights, and against what its backers call "the destruction of the family".^[2] Avi Maoz, the party's leader, was elected to the Knesset in 2021, and is the party's sole representative.^[6]^[7]
