The Shas party on Monday held its annual pre-Rosh Hashanah “l’chaim” gathering, which was headed by party chairman, Minister Aryeh Deri. Many senior party officials and members were on hand for the once-a-year event.
Speaking to Kol Chai Radio on Tuesday morning, MK Michael Michaeli highlighted the “achdus” that exists in the party today, adding he is confident that the party will do well in the upcoming municipal elections scheduled to take place around the country in a few weeks.
He did not make any mention of the split and the factions that were created as a result of Eli Yishai being ousted as party leader, which resulted in Yishai launching the Yachad party. That said, the Yachad party in the last Knesset election, failed in its bid to enter Knesset, for it did not receive sufficient votes to meet the minimum threshold required to enter Knesset.

great achdus! either kiss Deri’s butt or get thrown to the end of the line.
After kicking out Eli Yishai who was to be part and parcel of the achdus of shass, don’t mention the word “achdus” together with deri…..
