A dramatic recording has emerged from within the Shas party, featuring Rabbi Moshe Tzadka, the senior Sephardic Rabbi, asserting that he has not retracted his halachic ruling forbidding votes for Shas. The recording, revealed Monday evening, captures Rabbi Tzadka stating he stands by his decision, even if it leads to a left-wing government. The ruling explicitly prohibits voting for Shas and United Torah Judaism. Rabbi Tzadka penned this ruling last week. However, Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri reportedly made extensive efforts to prevent its publication. On Saturday night, senior Shas rabbis visited Rabbi Tzadka's home in an attempt to persuade him against releasing the ruling. Following these efforts, Shas reportedly briefed media outlets, suggesting Rabbi Tzadka had reversed his stance due to immense pressure. Yet, in a recording from Sunday, Rabbi Tzadka is heard telling a student, "I have not changed my mind. It is forbidden to vote for Shas and United Torah Judaism, even if the left rises to power as a result."
