Life is difficult in opposition: Deri will ask thousands of Shas supporters NIS 2,300 for the party

Although the ultra-Orthodox parties moved to the opposition, the budgets of the meetings and welfare were not affected by the budget approved this week by the government.

However, the chairman of Shas is expected to launch a mass recruitment campaign, in which he is expected to claim that the party is in heavy debt after 4 election campaigns.

"We are in a difficult time, the contribution is necessary"

Only two months after the formation of the new government, the ultra-Orthodox parties are still trying to get used to the reality in which they are in opposition, detached from the main centers of power and are not part of the government.

The consequences of this are not only political but also economic, and in an attempt to reduce the gaps created, Shas chairman Aryeh Deri is expected to soon announce a fundraising campaign within the party, in which thousands of its supporters will be asked to donate NIS 2,300 each.

In the days before the Tishrei holidays, Deri will send personal letters in which he will explain to Shas supporters about the necessity of the donation: "R" Shas in a draft that reached Walla!

Deri is expected to claim in the letter that Shas is in debt as a result of four "difficult and arduous" election campaigns, in his words, in which he said "the Shas movement has mobilized all its forces to maintain its power and even intensify." He would add that "these systems have entailed high expenditures that have placed heavy debts on the party." Deri will Shas supporters "of the adversities that" and will highlight the contribution "is necessary so that we can perform and achieve the goals we set for ourselves" and ask for even raise the additional money in the campaign in question "Knowing how important the fateful battle on the holy Israel."

The letter sent to thousands of homes Deri is expected to attach another letter, signed by Rabbi Shalom Cohen, president of the Shas Council of Sages, in which it is stated that the money can be donated even from tithes, funds that are part of the financial profits that a person is required to give to charity.

Deri's move is in accordance with a law that stipulates that Knesset members and Knesset candidates are allowed to raise donations at any time.

However, the amount of the individual donation that a person is allowed to donate was limited, the total amount of donations, and the period and purpose for which the donation money can be spent.

In addition, a reporting obligation was established for any donation received for the purposes of primaries.

Along with this provision, regarding the contribution to the party - the law sets even stricter restrictions. For example, a person may contribute to the party up to only NIS 1,000 a year, and in an election year up to NIS 2,300, similar to the amount demanded by the Shas chairman from his supporters. One of the duties of the State Comptroller is to check whether a party has received donations that go beyond these restrictions.

Shas' move is puzzling in light of the fact that in the state budget approved this week by the government, yeshiva budgets and welfare benefits were not harmed, even though the ultra-Orthodox parties joined the opposition. However, a Shas source explained that the goal is . One of the reasons he cited as an "economic need" is the fact that many advisers moved to work for the party after Shas left the government offices it controlled in recent years, and their source of livelihood was significantly harmed as a result.

This is not the first time Deri has raised funds through party supporters in recent years.

Another campaign was conducted within the party in the 21st Knesset elections in 2019.

Deri then asked Shas Knesset members to collect NIS 150,000 each within a period of only one month while setting a total goal of NIS 5 million. .
