Last summer the farms adjoining Israel's border with Gaza came under huge pressure. We speak to the Israeli farmers still trying to restore their land and livelihoods. We examine one of the key facts of life for observant Jews in Israel - the need to observe the Halacha - the Jewish religious laws that govern everyday life.
