Tehiya (Hebrew: תחיה, lit.'Revival'), originally known as Banai (בנא״י, an abbreviation for Land of Israel Loyalists' Alliance[a]), then Tehiya-Bnai (תחייה-בנא״י), was an ultranationalist political party in Israel. The party existed from 1979 until 1992. In the eyes of many, Tehiya was identified with Geula Cohen, who founded the party and headed it throughout its existence.
