An Israeli congregation announced it won a court case against a prominent anti-evangelism group after years of alleged harassment, including property damage. Pastor Israel Pochtar of Congregation Beit Hallel, a Messianic Jewish congregation -- Jews who believe Jesus was the Messiah -- in the southern coastal city of Ashdod, announced a restraining order preventing ultra-Orthodox, Jewish anti-missionary organization, Yad L'Achim, from coming within 100 meters of the congregation's property and personal homes. The pastor said it began in 2011 with a mass demonstration outside the building that now houses a 350-member congregation. Voice of Judah Israel, of which the congregation is a part, reports Yad L'Achim put up posters with Pochtar's home address. “This is such a significant victory and breakthrough for not only Beit Hallel Congregation, but for all local believers in Israel,” Pochtar wrote.
