Non-Jewish burial from the massacre

שו"תNon-Jewish burial from the massacre
שאל לפני 2 שנים

Hi
I assume you have heard about the opposition of the Hevra Kadisha to bury one of the murdered women in the Jewish cemetery hospital because she was in the middle of the conversion process. Needless to say, the conflict between this determination and natural morality (as understood by her family and many others). Does the Hevra Kadisha have a halakhic case here or could it have been glossed over and they just screwed up their way?
I will note that as a secularist, I cannot imagine agreeing with this policy, but right now I am interested in knowing who the main villain in this story is: the state that did not separate religion from state or the dossim? Forgive the emotions, I am in a shitty period.

I really don't see the conflict with natural morality. There is a religious issue to bury Jews in their own plot and she is not a halachic Jew. The fact that someone wants to be considered a Jew does not make them a Jew. There is no moral issue here, no conflict, and no guarantee. She was given a dignified burial, but in the plot of the destitute, because she is destitute. That's all. By the way, even if they separate religion from state, she won't be buried in a religious plot, because the religious community won't agree. And even now, she can be buried in a non-religious cemetery as she pleases. So why should they give in to her whim to be buried as a Jew when she's not?! This is a delusional and disconnected morality, and I'm already tired of all this secular nonsense that comes from the belly. This is the morality of the belly. That's why no one here is a villain, and the fact that you're in a difficult situation won't change that. The only thing that is relevant here is the (unjustified) harm that the family felt in its difficult situation, and this may be something to consider. Although, from a legal perspective, I don't think there is any real impediment, and therefore, in my opinion, it would certainly be possible to give them up. But the view of most rabbis is different.
