Yoram Sheftel, Yoav Eliasi (Shadow), Yinon Magal, Knesset Members and Heads of Authorities. As a protest against Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai's decision to ban the establishment of tefillin laying booths in the public space, established at the entrance to the Club Hotel where the event takes place, the position of tefillin and members of the Likud Center and MKs were invited to lay tefillin.
The culinary title of the event is expected to be Vegan Dreaming, according to Sarah Netanyahu's secret recipe, which will be served as a substitute for the traditional fish at Saturday's festive dinner. Prime Minister Yair Netanyahu's son also sent a greeting and posted on Facebook welcoming the "Laumyada" island to Eilat.
