Meeting face-to-face for the first time since the Shas party split, HaGaon HaRav Meir Mazuz Shlita, Rosh Yeshivas Kisei Rachamim on Sunday 20 Sivan was menachem aveil HaGaon HaRav Shalom Cohen Shlita who is sitting shiva for his rebitzen A’H.

Accompanying Rav Mazuz was Eli Yishai, as the side met each other in person for a first time since Yishai announced he was breaking from Shas to join the Yachad party under the spiritual leadership of Rav Mazuz.

The morning shiva visit was made without advanced notice as Rav Mazuz entered with Yishai at his side. They discussed only divrei Torah and following the visit, the women asked that Rav Mazuz make a shiva visit with them as well. Rav Mazuz accommodated the request.

When they arrived near the vehicle of Deputy Minister Itzik Cohen of Shas, he realized it was Rav Mazuz and his kissed his hand.
