Pictures: Workplace Shooting In Manchester
Rabbi Mayer Berger (L) with the Chesed Shel Emes Volunteer Emergency Services Unit in Brooklyn, NY, leads a group of volunteers carrying plastic bags that contain blood and tissue of Loius Felder, one of eight victims of yesterdays shooting at Hartford Distributors in Manchester. By Orthodox Jewish law the blood of a person is considered as holy as his life and anything that can be recovered, in this case a crime scene, needs to be buried with the person for a proper burial. The bags will be placed in the casket or directly in the grave so that they may be in closest contact to the earth and reflect a belief that the dead will rise in Israel in the messianic age.
