He's going to have to go through the legal process."

He died a month later, on the eve of the Shabbat when the weekly Torah portion includes the Jewish legal prohibition on homosexual intercourse, calling it an “abomination.”

There he calls for all the diseases and pains and sufferings of Israel, bidding them settle on himself, which they do.
