      Israel flu warning: don't kiss the rabbi

      Published on 11 September 2009 - 3:45pm
      More about:

      In a bid to curb the spread of swine flu, Israel's health ministry is advising the faithful not to kiss rabbis and Torah scrolls.

       

      In a message sent to synagogues ahead of the Jewish New  Year festivities, the health ministry says handshaking is allowed but only if people wash their hands afterwards. So far, influenza A (H1N1) has killed 22 people in Israel, with 3,000 others infected.
