Ashkelon Bones Being Reburied Monday


According to Rabbi Shalom Fried of the Ministry of Religious Services, the bones exhumed from the Barzilai Hospital site are being reinterred today, Monday, but the location will remain secretive to avoid a media frenzy.

Officials explain that past experience has shown it unwise to announce the location of the planned kvura so the event will not be covered by the press, and the bones will be buried in a respectful fashion, and the matter will come to an end.

  1. I wish someone could give me an answer to my question I repeated numerous times.
    There are 2 parts to “piney atzomes”. It’s the removal and the reburial. Did the Israeli Authorities contact any Chevra Kadisha or Rabbi to be present at the “removal” of the bones, son it be done kehalacha and “in a respectful fashion”? was there “shmurah” the last 24 hours by any Halachic authority to ensure no descecration is done to the bones, namely dna tests or other experiments? Was there “Shmurah that the Authorities didn’t hide any bones from being reburied, for they’re further interests?
