I think I’m glad the ruling went the way it went. I am concerned however that Ginsberg has a valid point. I would prefer that a Star of David not mark my grave. The fact is however that in our day and time as in the last 200 plus years of our country the cross has meant more than Christianity, although it can certainly mean that. Was there a section in the cemetery for various religions?

I would never be in favor of removing the Cross, Star of David or Crescent but if I was a Jew and there was only a Cross I might be inclined to complain that I too need a marker.
