Jerusalem Municipality Responsible for Sanitation at Kever
Rochel
By Betzalel Kahn
With the security barrier around Jerusalem now complete,
Mayor Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky announced that the municipality
would consider Kever Rochel a part of Jerusalem and take
responsibility for removing trash from the site.
The National Center for Holy Sites says that for years Kever
Rochel has not been defined as a part of the municipal
jurisdiction, which made clearing the rubbish a difficult
task.
Following requests by various officials to Mayor Lupoliansky
and Deputy Mayor Rabbi Uri Maklev and a tour of the site by
Sanitation Department Director Tzion Shetreet, the
municipality decided to start removing the trash and to
provide trash containers as needed.
