Israel Elections: Ultra-Orthodox Shas Party Banned From Distributing 'Keys To Heaven' Fliers To Voters

With Israel's tightly contested elections underway Tuesday, various political factions are engaging in some last-minute electioneering, including one ultra-Orthodox party that defied a ban on religious imagery to hand out advertisements promising blessings to its supporters. Israel's Central Election Committee has ordered the Shas party to cease distributing fliers claiming that a vote for the ultra-Orthodox faction offered the key to heaven, Ha'aretz reported.
