NEZER HAZANI, Gaza – From a Jerusalem apartment to a Jewish Gaza bomb shelter, the Lutz family this week experienced quite a change in scenery.
They moved here hoping to strengthen a community faced with forced evacuation, and they say right now they wouldn't be anywhere else.
"We came very happily because it's important for us to learn Torah from Gush Katif [the large slate of Gaza's Jewish communities]. We want to help bring more holiness to the Jews here who are going through such difficult times," Rabbi Shmuel Lutz told WND.
Lutz Tuesday transplanted his family from their comfortable apartment in the Old City, the gated section of Jerusalem that houses the Temple Mount, to a one-room concrete bomb shelter in Katif's Nezer Hazani farming community.

Some residents of the northern Gaza settlement of Elei Sinai said Thursday they planned to wear Nazi concentration camp prisoner uniforms when security forces evacuate them from their homes during the disengagement.
The striped uniforms, which were to include yellow Stars of David with the word "Jude" sewn on to the lapels, have already arrived.
The secretary of the Elei Sinai settlement, Yaniv Ben Hagai, condemned the move, the latest in a series of comparisons settlers have made between the disengagement and the Holocaust. Ben Hagai said most of the 400 Elei Sinai residents oppose the idea.
