Reaction to the Defacing of the Monastery of the Silent Monks at Latrun

On Tuesday morning, September 4, vandals defaced the Monastery of the Silent Monks at Latrun with anti-Christian graffiti. They also attempted, unsuccessfully, to burn the door. Rabbi Mauricio Balter of Kehillat Eshel Avraham in Beersheva and president of the Rabbinical Assembly of Israel was part of a Masorti delegation that visited the monks at Latrun in the aftermath of the incident. A translation of his remarks can be found here. For the translation, we are indebted to Arie Hasit, spiritual advisor to Masorti’s NOAM youth movement.
