A Jerusalem rabbinical court has condemned to death by stoning a stray dog it suspects is the reincarnation of a secular lawyer who insulted the court’s judges 20 years ago.<\/p>\n
Israeli website Ynet says the large dog made its way into the Monetary Affairs Court in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighbourhood of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, frightening judges and plaintiffs.<\/p>\n
Despite attempts to drive the dog out of the court, the hound refused to leave the premises. One of the sitting judges then recalled a curse the court had passed down upon a secular lawyer who had insulted the judges two decades previously.<\/p>\n
Their preferred divine retribution was for the lawyer’s spirit to move into the body of a dog, an animal traditional Judaism considers impure. Still offended, one of the judges sentenced the animal to death by stoning by local children.<\/p>\n
However, the canine escaped.<\/p>\n
Animal welfare organisation Let the Animals Live filed a complaint with the police against the head of the court, Rabbi Avraham Dov Levin, who denied that the judges had called for the dog’s stoning.<\/p>\n
But one of the court’s managers confirmed the sentence had been made in a story carried by leading Israeli daily newspaper Yediot Ahronot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
