Israeli kibbutz tweaks its name to honor Ginsburg
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli kibbutz has changed its name to honor the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in a weeklong tribute to the Jewish American judge.
Kibbutz Ramat Hashofet, or The Judge’s Heights, is named after the Jewish American judge Julian Mack. The kibbutz in northern Israel says this week it is temporarily tweaking its name to Ramat Hashofetet. Hebrew is a gendered language and the change turns the word “judge” female.
Ginsburg died Friday at age 87.
