Tombstone of famed rabbi damaged in Czech town of Prostejov
PRAGUE - A tombstone of a well-known rabbi at a former Jewish cemetery in the Czech town of Prostejov has been damaged.
A Jewish foundation said Friday it discovered earlier this week that the tombstone of Prostejov Rabbi Zvi Horowitz, who died in 1816, was broken into two pieces.
It was installed at the site in 2013 by New York philanthropist Louis Kestenbaum.
