100502 Lag b'Omer with Yitzhak Hershkowitz

Yitzhak Hershkowitz has been in an uphill struggle with the Israeli court  and police for 18 years. It all began when he purchased a house and property in Southern Talpiot, Jerusalem. Before he managed to move in, a Bedouin family moved in and layed claim to the property. Finally, this past week, Yitzhak was able to enter his home for the first time since he bought it. A number of Jews went to celebrate his housewarming simcha on Lag b'Omer.
Of course we were not able to leave the premises without the Arabs confronting us and finally the police arrived on the scene to quell the brewing storm.
