Following a meeting with Eli Yishai and then with HaGaon HaRav Meir Mazuz Shlita, Mekubal Rebi Refael Mamou announced his support for the Yachad party. Party officials believe the rav�s support will bring thousands of additional votes.
Yishai visited the rav�s home last week and Rav Mamou was then invited to the home of Rav Mazuz for a meeting.
Rav Mamou is well known in northern Israel and thousands attend his annual �hilula� event. The mekubal�s support is seen as a major boost for the Yishai campaign.
