Israel and The Sin of Expulsion

Harassment By Mail – by Rachel Saperstein, Neve Dekalim / Jerusalem Gold Hotel

Excerpts:

“A letter arrived from the Bezek Telephone Company. We will have to pay a penalty of IS 280, the letter stated, for breaking our one-year contract for internet use.“The government through us out in August” we countered. ‘They destroyed our phone lines. Sue the government for breach of contract.’ We are awaiting their reply.”

“Twenty-three Neve Dekalim families received a letter from SELAH – The Expulsion Authority. ‘We don’t deny you lived in Neve Dekalim. But you rented privately rather than through the local council. So you are not entitled to housing in Nitzan, or compensation of any kind. You have six days to vacate your hotel!’” read more

Chaye Sarah in Hebron

Excerpts:

“This Shabbat, over 25,000 people from Israel and around the world, arrived in Hebron to participate in this special event. Hundreds traveled from the United States especially for this Shabbat, via Hebron’s New York office, the Hebron Fund, and through AFSI. In addition, thousands of Israeli couples and youth were hosted by Hebron and Kiryat Arba families.”

“Hebron leaders, extremely happy with the huge turnout, said that this was the largest ‘Chaye Sarah’ Shabbat gathering ever. They expressed hope that Israeli politicians and world leaders would take note of the tremendous international support for Hebron’s Jewish community. They also commented that such a strong show of support should assist in efforts to prevent the possible expulsion of Jewish families from the ‘Mitzpe Shalhevet’ neighborhood, which was ordered to be implemented before the end of 2005.” read more
