ATTACKS BLASTED
JERUSALEM
An Israeli chief rabbi held an unprecedented meeting yesterday with
Christian clergy in Jerusalem in an effort to ease tensions after an
Orthodox Jew spat at an Armenian bishop. Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger
denounced any attacks on religious clergy in Israel. The Oct. 10
incident saw a Jewish seminary student spit on an Armenian archbishop
carrying a cross in Jerusalem, sparking a fist fight that damaged
the cleric’s medallion.
