Haim Yosef Abergel (Hebrew: ÃÂÃÂÃÂàÃÂÃÂáã ÃÂÃÂàÃÂÃÂèÃÂ'ÃÂ) is the son of Rabbi Yoram Abergel, and is the head of the Bnei Yosef school network. He split his school network from the Shas-aligned Maayan HaChinuch HaTorani school network, and transferred it to the state-run Haredi curriculum. In 2025, he announced that he would be creating a new political party called "Mayim Chaim", which would support Haredi conscription and was designed to compete with Shas.
In August 2025, he has been accused of sexually assaulting young women and girls, and was later arrested by the Israel Police's Southern District on suspicion of sexual offences.
