We are currently facing fateful elections for the State of Israel, as alongside the fight against the coronavirus pandemic and the economic crisis it triggered, we are waging an important campaign for the character of the State of Israel.

Will Israel maintain a Jewish character that preserves Jewish values, Shabbat, tradition, kosher, and state conversion, or will it turn into a state of all its citizens – devoid of the character of Judaism, Shabbat and tradition? A state that accepts Reform conversions and causes irreversible damage to the Jewish people in the Land of Israel?
Another issue that must be addressed while we deal with the coronavirus pandemic is the economy: Israel is looking at a time when it will have to repay state loans amounting to billions of shekels.
I feat that without a powerful Shas in the Knesset, the lower socioeconomic echelons would be the ones that are made to pay – the ones Shas has been looking out for over the past 40 years – just as was the case in the 2003 recession, when social security benefits were drastically cut.
Shas vows to support solely Benjamin Netanyahu for prime minister. Shas envisioned and established the right-wing bloc to protect the interests of its members under Prime Minister Netanyahu's leadership, and unlike the other parties and the Likud – whose members have defected from the bloc – Shas members do not zigzag.
A vote for Shas is a 100% vote for a government headed by Netanyahu.
Therefore, those who seek to see Netanyahu as prime minister and at the same time brace Judaism, tradition, the Jewish character of the state, and the protection of the weak, while following the teachings of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef should vote for Shas.
