Thread: Jewess sues congregation because black women buried in cemetery

Jewish Press
Published: May 5th, 2012


The AP reports that a trial is set to begin in the case of a Connecticut Jewish woman who sued her congregation because a black woman had been buried in the interfaith section of their cemetery.

Maria Balaban’s lawsuit will go to trial Tuesday in New London Superior Court. She is demanding that the remains of Jamaica-born Juliet Steer be exhumed and removed from Congregation Ahavath Achim’s cemetery in Colchester.

The 73-year-old Balaban argues that the congregation broke the rule against burying gentiles in a Jewish cemetery when it allowed Steer’s burial in an interfaith section of the cemetery in 2010.

So was it because she was black do you think since the lady was buried in an 'interfaith' section?

Is the Jewess being racist?

If it's "interfaith", then I don't see what the issue is.

So yeah, she's being racist.

I think someone should tell the old bag that they are going to bury her right next to the Jamaican when she croaks and give her a smaller headstone....and mispell her name on it. Maria Blaban.

did you know that "jewess", like "negress" is extremely offensive word to Jews? Of course you did, you know all the right hate words, and your hatred for Jews is well documented on PF.

Who would she sue?

It says congregation. Isn't congregation the people who worship there?

How does she sue them?

No I didn't. Do you have a verifiable universally applicable reference? Many thanks. Much appreciated.

Uhm .... why is "negress" offensive to Jews?

I wonder if "negrita" is offensive to Argentinian Jews.

I had a good friend in Chile who used to call his wife "morena", and she was at best only pale coffee coloured.

Odd, hey?

The word "nig**r" used to be socially acceptable; not anymore.

Like many other English nouns in which the suffix -ess is added to a gender-neutral word to indicate femaleness, the terms Jewess and Negress are now widely regarded as offensive.

Your hatred for jews is evident. Just admit it.
