Seven photos of Aharon Abuhatzira, the founder of the first political 'oriental' religious party, years before Shas was founded.
Four of the photos were taken on the day Abuhatzira was convicted of fraud and breach of trust, in his second trial in 1982. One of these photos features him with his attorneys, Shlomo Toussia-Cohen and Ram Caspi. Three others were taken in 1983, one of them on the first day of his community service.
Abuhatzira, nephew of the Baba Sali, was part of the Mafdal (Religious Zionist Party), and served as the Minister of Religions, but was accused of corruption. Abuhatzira agreed to waive his immunity, was tried and acquitted after the state witness retracted his testimony, following the threat of a rabbinical boycott. After his acquittal, Abuhatzira founded an independent 'oriental' political movement, claiming that the Mafdal leader tried to politically liquidate him. The new party, Tami, won three Knesset seats in the 1981 election, but by then Abuhatzira was facing a new indictment, and was later convicted of fraud and breach of trust, and sentenced to three months of community service.
Handwritten captions and photographers stamp or signature (Uzi Keren) appear on the verso of each photograph.
Various sizes and conditions. General condition: good.

Four large ring-binders containing several hundred documents and other paper items documenting the four-year struggle between religious and secular groups in Petah Tikva following the decision of the mayor, Dov Tavori, to allow cinemas to operate on Friday nights and Saturdays.
The binders were assembled and arranged by a religious activist and feature newspaper clippings, photos, various pamphlets, copies of various documents (such as demonstration permits by the police and a law suit presented to the High Court of Justice), and more.
Each ring-binder documents one year of the struggle allowing a wide and deep perspective of the affair.
During the struggle, police arrested the chief rabbi of Petah Tikva and issued warrants to many rabbis.
The affair marked a series of struggles between the secular public who wished to act according to their beliefs, and the religious public wishing to keep Israel's Jewish identity by prohibiting commercial activity on the Shabbat.
Very good condition.
