How are you spending the 67th Independence Day of the State of Israel?
In case you haven't decided yet - accept an attractive offer: a Torah lesson from the "Rabbi Aryeh Deri Shlita" - which will be delivered from 11:30 am to 12:00 pm at the Musayof synagogue in the Bukharim neighborhood of Jerusalem, which will hold a series of lessons throughout the day.
Recently, Deri has often demonstrated the scholarly side of his personality. For example, last week he abandoned the coalition negotiations and the day-to-day hassles that his role as Shas chairman burdens him with, and arrived at the closing ceremony of the 'Hazon Ovadia' inter-ministerial meetings in Ashdod.
""Rabbi Aryeh Deri left the coalition negotiations and came here to give a lecture on halachic matters. The opening lecture was given by Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri on the subject of Hillel and the branch," the event's promoters reported.
One who did not remain indifferent to the Musayof synagogue's announcement was Yair Itanger, Haaretz's ultra-Orthodox correspondent, who tweeted: "A huge congratulations to Aryeh Deri, whose advisors and his supporters elevated him this week to the rank of 'Rabbi Gaon Shlita'. The political career is just that.".
