Moshe and Rachel Saperstein, longtime contributors to the Jerusalem Diaries newslist, were evicted from their home in Neve Dekalim today.Together with dozens of other Neve Dekalim families, the Sapersteins were bused to a Jerusalem hotel.To date, the Disengagement Authority has not been able to arrange permanent alternative housing for the Neve Dekalim evictees. Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski sent out a letter today welcoming the new residents and pledging to put all the city's social welfare resources at their disposal. He writes that kindergartens will be setup in the hotels--indicating a lengthy temporary residence for those who have been uprooted from their homes and community.
