The people of Israel – this is a time of emergency! The leaders of political parties in the Left declare blatantly that they intend on obliterating Judaism – make Israel a country like all others; turn Shabbat into a regular weekday, and crush every Jewish value we know and to the light of which we were raised. This is a real threat to Israel's nature as a Jewish state and it is a danger to everything we were taught to heed.

I call you, my friends, go out and vote. Go vote and take everyone you know with you. This is the time.
A vote for Shas assures we maintain our tradition. As Shas chairman, I can pledge to you that, just as I established the right-wing bloc that protected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and prevented the formation of a left-wing government with Yisrael Beytenu and the support of the Arab parties, so I will continue to be vigilant.
A vote for Shas is like voting with two ballots – for Netanyahu as prime minister and for Shas, who maintains and will continue to maintain the Jewish nature of Israel.
This is a historic time for the people of Israel and we must all rally together.
Throughout my political career, I have chosen social portfolios. I also appropriated coalition funds to decrease water and public transport prices and subsidize summer camps for the disadvantaged, alongside working tirelessly as a member of the Diplomatic-Security Cabinet.
This is the will of my mentor, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who founded Shas. That was his decree to me: Defend Israel's security, protect the people of Israel, keep IDF soldiers safe, care for the weak, and preserve Judaism and our tradition.
For this I work, night and day: For the people of Israel, for Judaism, for tradition, for Netanyahu, for the right-wing bloc, for the land of Israel, and for the future of our children.
For these, there is only one right ballot to cast - Shas.
