Cameras May Be Installed at Har Hamenuchot in Jerusalem
By Yechiel Sever
Following a series of acts of vandalism at Har Hamenuchot Cemetery in
Jerusalem's Givat Shaul neighborhood, including thefts of memorial
candle holders and car break-ins, cameras may be installed throughout
the cemetery.
According to complaints made to the Chevra Kadisha recently, anonymous
figures come to the cemetery and wreak havoc, destroying everything in
their path. The Chevra Kadisha blames local authorities for not
enforcing the law following these incidents.
"We contacted all of the local authorities, but nothing has been
done," said a Chevra Kadisha spokesman. "The State has shown
incompetence in protecting its cemeteries."
The Chevra Kadisha is now considering the possibility of installing
security cameras to deter hooligans.
