Slovakian Prime Minister Pledges to Preserve Chasam Sofer's Grave
by Betzalel Kahn

During a visit to the Western Wall last week, Slovakian Prime Minister Mikolas Dzurinda told Kosel Maarovi Chief Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitz that he intends to closely oversee the preservation of the sanctity of the Chasam Sofer's grave and hopes the Jewish people will continue to visit the gravesite.

HaRav Rabinovitz told his guest that Slovakia had a great privilege to have the Chasam Sofer, one of the greatest Jewish rabbis, buried in its soil and that it was incumbent upon Slovakia to preserve and protect the gravesite and other Jewish sites located in the country.

Dzurinda says he has visited the gravesite himself and is well aware of the importance of the site to the Jewish people.
