Two thousand people took part in an international piyyut convention in Jerusalem last night (Thursday), sponsored by the Jerusalem Municipality in collaboration with the organization of Moroccan Jews in Israel.
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri (Shas) and Deputy Jerusalem Mayor Dov Kalmanovich took part in the event, which was conducted by Lior Almaliah and featured Emil Zarihan, Moshe Luk, Shimon Siboni, and Alsalam Safani. Safiani came from Morocco in order to participate.
"Whoever does not want mizrachim on the 200 shekel bill will get them on the 500 shekel bill," Deri told the audience.
