In Herzliya in Israel,
people have begun a petition to try to save a modern-day hermit from
being thrown out of his unusual dwelling, built in a cave on the coast.
Nisim
spent months living by the sea without a home, but then defied the
humidity, salt and waves to build a Gaudi-like structure, which has been
a local attraction for nearly 50 years.
But
now the authorities want him to leave, saying he built without
permission and is harming the environment. Nisim insists he will not
leave his life’s work until he dies.
