Israeli engineering firm Rolzur and Jerusalem's largest burial society, Kehillat Yerushalayim, have devised a plan to radically change how Jerusalemites dispose of their dead by building a modern system of burial caves, a throwback to a practice discontinued some two millennia ago,
as shown in footage from Wednesday. Planners of Jerusalem's newest necropolis, a massive underground complex, say it will eventually hold more than 20,000 bodies.
"We had a big problem of places to be buried in Jerusalem," said Kehillat Yerushalayim Funeral Director Uri Miller. "You can imagine that if we have around 2000 burials a year and each grave takes around 70 centimeters (27 inches) multiplied by 2 meters (6.6 feet), then after [a] few years there is no place in Jerusalem to be buried."
"It's an environmental solution and it also saves a lot of place, you know, instead of having new cemeteries it's a good solution," said Rolzur CEO Ari Glazer. "And we hope also [that] it will be around the world because it suits many cities around the world."
I'm sure that you remember the terrible tragedy that befell our community this past May. HaBucher Yisroel Schwartz was unfortunately hit by a truck while he was biking on his way home from Yeshiva. Yisroel is remembered as a special Bachur who was beloved by all. His dedication to Torah, sincere Teffilohs and exceptional Middos Tovos left an indubitable impression on whoever met him.
Since he cannot continue his Avodas Hashem, it is up to us to ensure his legacy continues. Therefore, we have come up with a plan to dedicate the new Bais Hamedresh, Shivtai Yisroel, Bluzhev – Ribatitch in his name. Now, every word of prayer and Torah study made in the new Shul will be boost for Yisroel’s Neshamah.
It is most appropriate that Yisroel who was named after the previous Bluzhever Rebbe Zy”a have his memory forever interwoven with the new Bluzhever Shul. The new Shul will be a bastion of Torah and Tefilah and Yisroel’s Legacy will be able to live on eternally.
We launched a campaign Sunday – Tuesday Oct. 27-29 to raise the money so we can dedicate the new Shul in the name of Yisroel.
