As the political parties prepare to air their TV ads for the upcoming elections, Shas has also been hard at work and one of the election infomercials shows Maran HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef Shlita in his study, surrounded by seforim, telling us “When a man buys a home, he does not move in prior to placing a proper mezuzah. This is kedushas habayis. We have a government. They build a government. What is necessary then, a mezuzah, and Shas is that mezuzah!”

Other election infomercials address the low-income families, “those without” as Shas says it, stressing the party is the correct address for voters who are genuinely concerned with the nation’s socioeconomic issues.
