Title: Jewish grave in Christian cemetery
Post by: Irish Zionist on October 29, 2009, 01:58:36 PM

I saw today when I was visiting my aunts graveyard a headstone with The Star of David on it. I figured it was Jewish, maybe someone would know the surname was Qurke. Anyways just wondering is it forbidden in the Torah to bury in a Christian graveyard?

I checked that surname and the 2 names that came up are Irish surnames

Then why do they have A Star of David on their grave.
