Thousands Attend Rally Decrying Desecration of Ancient Jewish Cemeteries in Spain

Brooklyn, NY - More than 3000 Charedi Jews gathered yesterday at the Brooklyn Marriott to decry the real estate development in Toledo, Spain that threatens some very old Jewish cemetery.

The rally was to call upon the Spanish government to stop the desecration of ancient Jewish cemeteries in Toledo, where bones of those buried before Jews were expelled from the country in the 15th century are being dug up to clear land for real estate development.
