Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and many members of the cabinet were present on Sunday night, attending sheva brachos for a granddaughter of Chacham Rav Ovadia Yosef Shlita.

The kalah, Margalit, named after Rav Ovadia�s first wife, was married to Yaakov Sinai. The sheva brachos was held in a Givat Shaul hall. Other ministers in attendance were Ehud Barak, Silvan Shalom, Eli Yishai, Moshe Ya�alon, Ariel Atias, Yitzchak Herzog, Gideon Saar, Yisrael Katz, Yaakov Margi and Meshulam Nahari.

The prime minster received a warm bracha from Rav Ovadia. The Rav�s daughter-in-law escorted Mrs. Sara Netanyahu to the Rav, in a most unusual move, to receive a personal bracha upon the Rav�s request. She was blessed with �health, satisfaction, success and happiness�.

The prime minister was accompanied by his wife, who waited for him in the women�s section along with the wives of other ministers.

Also present was former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who was received warmly by the prime minister and his cabinet ministers.
