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.

Hermit ascetics are a post-Constantinian Christian “thing”.
Not much sympathy or support from Orthodox Judaism.

Looking at his place, I am not sure he is an ascetic. Since he had his head covered, I suspect the fellow may well be Jewish himself.
John the Baptist was a pre-Constantinian and the Jews of his time respected the time he spent living an ascetic life alone in the wild.

John the Baptist had a unique place in salvation history...last and greatest of the Prophets.
But you’re right...he looks as though he has been eating far more than locusts and wild honey and that is definitely NOT a camel’s hair garment!

They need to leave him alone. The socialists want to put him in a home.
He is showing others how to be too free . So they strike Nisim down.
Thats pure evil. Man is meant to be free.That offends the Socialist Hegemicron.

“is harming the environment”
Apparently just living is too much strain on the “environment”.

Isaiah 2:19
Men will go into caves of the rocks
And into holes of the ground
Before the terror of the Lord
And the splendor of His majesty,
When He arises to make the earth tremble.
