A jewish prayer for Otto von Habsburg
Munich, 10 July, 2011. On Monday, 11 July, 2011, Steven Langnas, the former chief rabbi of
the Israelitic Community in Munich and Upper Bavaria, will pray the Jewish "Al Molah
Rachamim" during the farewell of the coffin on Munich's Odeonsplatz. This will take place
after the requiem in the Theatinerkirche.
The former chief rabbi was a personal acquaintance of Otto von Habsburg. Praying the Jewish
Prayer for the dead will pay tribute to von Habsburg's engagement for religious freedom, for
the interreligious dialogue and, in particular, for his endeavours to save the Jews during the
Third Reich and the Second World War.
