London newspapers today told the story of a Christian pastor in the remote town of Narberth, Wales, who performed a burial service according to Jewish ritual for a Jewish war veteran, Covis Hertzog, whose dying wish it was to be given a Hebrew funeral.
The nearest rabbi being fifty miles away, Dr. Llewellyn Davies, a gifted scholar, was asked to perform the service. This he did, chanting the psalms and reading the prayers in Hebrew.
