Chairman Aryeh Deri of the Sephardic haredi-religious Shas Party arrived this morning at the tomb of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the spiritual leader of the party.

At the conclusion of his prayer at the grave, Deri said that "Just as we were blessed to sanctify the Name of Heaven during your lifetime, so may we merit today to fulfill your mission and sanctify the name of Heaven and restore the Heavenly Crown to its former glory."
