Volunteers Bury Bones Unearthed at Elad-Mazor

by Betzalel Kahn

Last week, a group of avreichim fulfilled the mitzvah of "gathering the bones of the ancients." The remains were from graves that had been desecrated in a shocking, disgraceful manner by archaeologists conducting diggings in the Elad-Mazor area.

In strict adherence to halocho, the volunteers buried all the bones, which they found scattered like dung on a field in the area near the graves.

The burial was organized by the Association for Prevention of Desecration of Graves.
