A Jewish man was photographed while traveling in a bag, after learning that his plane would fly over a cemetery. The news website Ynet was the first to report on this peculiar case, to which this passenger said he traveled this way by following the orders of his rabbi.

Originally, it was reported that the man wanted to avoid contact with non-Jews, especially women. But then it was revealed that he had learned that the plane he was traveling in would be flying over a cemetery, and decided that he should stay as far as possible to remain pure. Besides being a follower of Judaism, the man also practiced "Haredi", the most conservative form of their belief.

This man, who requested to remain anonymous, also had previously served in the Israeli defense forces.

Rabbis who were interviewed differed with the criticism of society. And after seeing the photograph, for them it was a lack of respect that that someone had taken a picture of this man during the trip, and were criticized and categorized as "primitive".
