Deri Assures Non-Frum: You Can Rest Easy

Jerusalem mayoral candidate Rabbi Aryeh Deri, a former senior minister and Shas Party leader, has released statements that he intends to run in the mayoral race if the legalities involved do not prevent him from doing so. Deri told the press that his record is testimony that “Chilonim can rest easy,” assuring the people that if elected, he will continue in his path of moderation, and he will be a mayor true to all voters, chareidi and otherwise, including Arabs and ‘chilonim’.
