(Worthy News) – Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel David Lau said Wednesday that the body of a Christian missionary who posed as a Jew for years should be reburied in a non-Jewish cemetery.
“This is a non-Jewish woman who pretended to be an ultra-Orthodox woman, and was a missionary, and even tried to convert people away from Judaism,” Lau wrote in letter to Jerusalem Burial Society head Moshe Shimon published by Srugim.
“Out of respect to the Jews who bought a plot in order to be buried in a Jewish plot, and were buried in accordance with these wishes, every effort should be made to remove her [Elk] to a non-Jewish plot,” he wrote. [ Source: World Israel News (Read More…) ]
