Every year tens of thousands descend upon Hevron/Kiryat Arba for Shabbos Parsha Chayei Sarah, which details the first-ever real estate deal in the Torah: Avrahams purchase of the Cave of Machpelah and the surrounding fields from Ephron the Hittite. If Lag bOmer in Meron is the Chassidish Woodstock, then Shabbos Chayei Sarah in Hevron/Kiryat Arba is the Chassidish Monterey Pop Festival. What I DONT want to see is it turning into the Chassidish Altamont, G*d forbid. Which is why Im asking: What are the security measures being planned for this weekend (if any) or did the whole thing get called off because of the situation?
