He went on to study history and political science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem,[1] where he became chairman of the university's students' union.[2] He also headed the students section of the World Zionist Organization between 1977 and 1981.[2]
A member of the Liberal Party, Zeigerman served as secretary of the party's Jerusalem branch.[2] In 1981 he was elected to the Knesset on the Likud list (then an alliance of the Liberal Party, Herut and other right-wing factions), and sat on the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, the Immigration and Absorption Committee and the Education and Culture Committee.[3] He lost his seat in the 1984 elections.
