'''Shas''' (an acronym for Shomeri Torah Sefaradim, English "Torah-Observant Sephardim") is an ultra-Orthodox political party in [[Israel]].
The party primarily represents the interests of Haredi Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews. It usually gains around seven seats in the Knesset, and usually ends up part of the governing coalition regardless of which main party (Labor or Likud) is leading it.
Although disagreeing with the [[United Torah Judaism]] alliance on issues, Shas tends to vote with the alliance in most cases due to their common interests in representing the most observant in the Jewish community.
