Among other reasons, this is because Jewish tradi- tion holds that they will be resurrected before anyone else when the Messiah comes. The Eretz Hahayim cemetery also appeals to overseas Jews by virtue of its beautiful location and because funeral ar- rangements are handled with far greater decorum there than at most other Israeli cemeteries. Indeed, special efforts are made to fulfill the requests of bereaved families, though on- ly if they are compatible with Orthodox practices, or, more specifically, with the stricter Jerusalem version thereof. On occasion, however, the Eretz Hahayim directors may seek modification of such practices. For example, Jerusalem tradition has it that the children and grand- children of a deceased man may not follow behind his shrouded body as it is taken to the grave — a practice of Kabbalistic origin not com- mon even among the ultra- Orthodox in the U.S. But, after being contacted by the cemetery's directors, a leading Jerusalem rabbi declared that there was nothing to prevent the children and grandchildren from going to the cemetery ahead of the funeral proces- sion and then standing at a reasonable distance from the grave during the service. Afterwards, they could ap- proach the grave itself and pay their respects. Despite its relative flexibili- ty, a cemetery like Eretz Hahayim does not meet the needs of people here who re- ject the strictures of Or- thodoxy in one degree or another. Some of them, for example, want to bury their loved ones not in shrouds, but in coffins, the use of which is forbidden at existing Israeli cemeteries, except for military funerals. Others want to have a non- standard funeral service, perhaps conducted by a Reform or Conservative rabbi (who, as things stand, cannot officiate at either funerals or marriages). - There may soon be an alter- native for such people, thanks to the efforts of the Menucha Nechona (True Tranquility) burial society, established just over two years ago by a group of Jerusalem families (later joined by represen- tatives of Secular Humanistic Judaism and Reform Judaism). . Members of the Menucha Nechona board asked for a license from the Orthodox- controlled Ministry for Religious Affairs, which tried its best to discourage them. But when they petitioned the Supreme Court for redress, the Ministry gave in just before the case was to be heard and has even promised to help the new burial socie- ty create its own cemetery. At' that cemetery, which will probably be located not far from the Eretz Hahayim one, families will be able to choose any kind of religious service they want — or none at all. Moreover, the new cemetery will differ from all others because it will allow partners in a mixed marriage to be buried next to one another. The Menucha Nechona cemetery is being created, of course, to meet the needs of Israelis. But perhpas, like neighboring Eretz Hahayim, it will also serve to further in- crease posthumous aliya. Eleven Wounded In Gaza Clash Jerusalem (JTA) — At least 11 Palestinians and as many as 17 were wounded in a clash with Israeli security forces in the Shati refugee camp near Gaza last week. There were also violent in- cidents in East Jerusalem. One Egged bus was stoned on the main thoroughfare and another on Nablus Road, the border between east and west Jerusalem. Windshields were smashed but no one was hurt. The Israel Defense Force report of 11 casualties at the Shati camp was disputed by Arab sources, who claimed 17 were wounded, after they were reportedly hit by live ammunition and plastic bullets. According to the IDF, the soldiers opened fire to protect themselves from a mob hurl- ing stones, bricks and metal objects. A curfew was clamped on the Shati camp. It was the second' con- secutive day of violence in the Gaza Strip. Children Afraid To Show Fear Aviv (JTA) — The Palest- inian uprising is taking a psychological toll among the children of Jewish settlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The problem seems to be that the children are frightened but are afraid to show fear because of parental disapproval, Davar reported.
