In an effort to assist former Shas minister, R� Shlomo Benizri, who entered Massiyahu Prison this week, serving a 4.5 year term, MKs and ministers of the party will be visiting him weekly.
It appears the party�s Council of Torah Sages met to discuss the matter, and next week, Rav Ovadia Yosef Shlita, possibility accompanied by some of the other Rabbonim Shlita, will be making a visit to the prison as well. During his prison term, R� Ovadia did not visit R� Aryeh Deri, who was the party�s leader.
At present, despite rumors, an official request for the visit was not made with Israel Prison Authority officials.
