Further, Mark's work was publicized in the article "Who Owns Young Israel of Beverly Hills?" in the Los Angeles Jewish Journal where his work resulted in a synagogue property being reconveyed back to its original owners "free and clear" after members transferred the property and encumbered it with over $250,000 in debt.
