Orthodox godmen have ways to justify all kinds of things when push
comes to shove.

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?
