The Knesset made history on Tuesday when it swore in its first female ultra-Orthodox Member of Knesset. MK Tzvia Greenfield joined the Knesset on behalf of the Meretz Party, to replace retiring MK Yossi Beilin. Greenfield is a doctor of political philosophy, and her achievements include the signing of the Geneva Initiative. The new MK said that she was proud to create an important precedent as a woman and to promote the pluralist values of humanity and human rights. 11/05/08
