Interior Minister and Shas leader Eli Yishai visited Maran HaGaon Rav Sholom Yosef Elyashiv Shlita on Monday and was received warmly by the Gadol HaDor.

The Rav was unable to visit Yishai during the extremely brief shiva period following the petira of his mother on erev Pessach so Yishai decided to visit the Rav following yomtov.

According to reports, Rav Elyashiv was pleased to see the Shas leader and gave him a bracha for success in his capacity as interior minister.
