The Shas campaign isn’t holding back. It’s pushing its greatest political asset, its followers spiritual world, to the hilt on Election Day.

We’ve already reported on the business-card-sized slips that purport to quote the party’s deceased founder and spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef promising that anyone who votes Shas is guaranteed entrance into heaven.
