555- There is a saying in yiddish” : a na-ar vast me nisht kan halbe arbet”.Hope you understand that.

Anyway- I did some quick research about the shul in Givat Ze-ev. If you have any anger, direct it towards the Supreme Court. Its decision-after seven years of litigation- that the ownership of the land upon which the shul is built does not belong to the shul, Hence, it ordered it to be destroyed. After major protests, the compromise was that the whole shul-every brick and every seat- will be dismantled and rebuilt as is on an adjacent parcel that is certainly owned by the shul

Maybe there was a way of keeping the shul as is but the Supreme Court decided that it was built on another person’s land. I am not sure what the halocho would be in such a situation but I find the ultimate compromise acceptable. So have many all ministers- amongst them chareidim.
