Video: Jew Who Was Expelled from Israel Interviewed

Shneur Zalman Haskelevitch with a Kikar Shabbos correspondent in his home in Morocco.

Shneur Zalman Haskelevitch, 35, an orthodox Jew who grew up in Crown Heights, was banned from Israel in 2005. The rare move was taken by Israel in the wake of an intelligence investigation, after it was discovered that he had visited six Arab countries, including Iraq during the U.S. invasion. This week, Kikar Shabbos met up with him in his home in Morocco, and heard all about his unique day-to-day life.
