Meah Shearim resident Yitzchak Bergel was arrested back in 2013 on suspicion of trying to spy against Israel for Iran. The father of six, who is a member of Neturei Karta, faced a serious criminal indictment and the state wanted him imprisoned for four years while the defense was seeking a 3.5-year term. He was ultimately sentenced to a 4.5-year prison term.
Bergel was released after serving his time, allowed to return to his family this past erev Shabbos. On motzei Shabbos, he held a siyum in a local shul for all the learning he completed while imprisoned.

Zionists will never succeed.
True..
but being a spy for ISIS does not help!!
if he was indeed a spy, he’s a nutcracker and probably went totally against halocha!!
He looks more like a certified freak then a spy
I would mesayem his breathing capability. Spy against Israel and endanger the lives of Jews?–Schecht him.
a person who gives information to the enemies of the Jewish people and then makes a siyam is a total mental freak and should be escorted to the Gaza strip to enjoy living with his like, those who desire to kill and destroy Jews.
Some people here think that they know it all. I hope they never judge you so quickly. Do you know the story? Do you know him? Or do you just enjoy sitting around judging every story that comes on these sites?
Upon release, he should have been deported to Iran. He could have made his siyum there, with his real friends.
