    My friend who converted to Judaism inherited a silver cross on a chain from his grandfather that has sentimental value to his family. Under Jewish law, he should find the cross a new home and keep only the chain, as keeping the cross itself would not be appropriate for a Jew.

    Descrizione originale:

    good question about a family heirloom that is of a different faith

    Question:
    I have a friend of Hispanic origin who later converted to Judaism. About a month ago, Im sorry to say,
    his grandfather died. Before passing on, he gave my friend a chain with a silver cross on it. This cross
    has great sentimental to his father as well him.
    Under Jewish law, what should my friend do about the cross?
    Answer:
    With all due respect to the family heirloom, he should find it a dierent home, as it is not an item for a
    Jew to keep.
    The chain without the cross can be kept.
