Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat arrived at the wedding of the grandson of Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem Rav Amar, along with Minister for Jerusalem Affairs Ze'ev Elkin.
Rav Shmuel Eliyahu decided at nearly the last minute that he would run for Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem.
Rav Amar blessed Eli Yishai, saying, "May all your enemies fall before you, and may you be raised up, and succeed in all your undertakings."
