Throughout the year in southern India,millions of pilgrims flock to a temple in Tirupati where they shave their heads to offer thanksgiving to a Hindu god,they believe,has fulfilled their wishes.The hair is collected and auctioned to wig markers by the temple trust,which makes about US $ 120,000 every year.The wigs so made are then exported to different countries of which Israel imports the most.This is,in fact,a good example of entrepreneurial talent.But there is a problem.Recently,the main Rabbi of orthodox Jews ruled that wigs imported from India are " unkosher",meaning that the hair in them may have been used in Hindu ceremonies involving idol worship.Therefore the Rabbi banned the use of wigs from India.I am wondering,what if ,one of the children of a religious leader needs a life-saving organ transplantation and the matching donor happens to be a Hindu boy,would he reject it?
