Jewish Genious

I admire the ingenuity.

El Al Airlines tackle the issue of transporting corpses -- a problem for members of Judaism's priestly caste, called Kohanim, who are banned by ritual law from coming in close proximity to the dead..........The institute found a solution by wrapping thick corrugated cardboard around the coffin in the shape of a house. That way, the body is considered enclosed and unable to "spread impurity," making it acceptable for Kohanim to travel on the same plane.
