Shas leader Aryeh Deri announced that the name of the party�s Mayan HaChinuch education network is being changed to Bnei Yosef in memory of Maran HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef ZT�L.

Deri explained that he consulted with the rabbonim serving on the party�s Moetzas Gedolei Yisrael and it was agreed that since the education network represents the rav�s lifelong effort to reach out and bring the children back to Yiddishkheit, the change was most appropriate.
