Biography

Slomiansky was born in Ramat Gan during the Mandate Era. He was educated at Bnei Akiva's yeshiva in Nechalim and completed academic studies in physics and mathematics at Bar-Ilan University.

In the 1996 elections, Slomiansky was placed 10th on the National Religious Party's list of candidates. He entered the Knesset in May 1997, following the death of Avraham Stern. He lost his seat in the 1999 elections, but regained it in 2003 when he was placed sixth on the party's list of candidates. He was later re-elected to the Seventeenth Knesset in 2006.

Slomiansky headed the parliamentary lobby for elderly persons during the Sixteenth Knesset. In this term he was noted for his 100% presence rate at plenum sittings. Since 2003 he is serving as the party's group chairperson at the Knesset, holding this position during the party's split on the background of the disengagement plan.

For the 2009 elections he won fourth place on the Jewish Home list, but lost his seat when the party won only three seats.
