Yesterday in Rome Israeli President Ruvi Rivlin
and his personal secretary Rivka Ravitz (orthodox woman) went to the Vatican to visit Pope Francis!
Protocol is when you meet the pope you shake hands and bow down
When it came to Rivka's turn to do so she explained to the pope that according to Jewish law a
woman is not allowed to shake a mans hand and can't bow to a cross (on his
necklace )
Look at this picture and see the pope covering the cross and bows to her as respect
to Jewish law (halacha)!!!
Here ia abit of Rivka Ravit's background!
