“This repulsive practice is a hateful act of persecution against another faith group and a desecration of God’s name according to Jewish law,” said ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman.
“This display of hate and bigotry has no place in Israel and is inimical to Jewish values of treating all people with respect and kindness.”
In a letter to Chief Rabbis Shlomo Amar and Yona Metzger, ADL urged the rabbinical leaders to meet with haredi leaders in an effort to end the practice and to join together to educate their community about having respect for coexistence with other faiths.
“The issue makes headlines every few years, and promises are made to combat it, but it continues every day,” said Rabbi Eric J. Greenberg, ADL director of interfaith affairs.
“We believe it is time for Israel’s religious leaders to stand up for the Jewish values of treating others with respect and kindness, and to put an end to this ugly phenomenon.”
Judge Pollock noted that this practice has been recurring for years, and that authorities have not been able to identify the perpetrators or to stop these acts.
