Shas chairman Aryeh Deri announced a new election pledge to provide free tefillin and a tallis to every Jewish boy in Israel upon reaching Bar Mitzvah age, as part of an initiative to strengthen Yiddishkeit across the country. Deri also pledged legislation requiring schools to provide designated areas for students to put on tefillin and daven. The announcement comes ahead of Tuesday’s elections, with Deri declaring that Shas will fight efforts to remove religion from public life.
