"Settlement in suit over Jewish cemetery, May 17, 2012
A Connecticut woman has agreed to settle a lawsuit against her Jewish congregation over the burial of a black woman in the synagogue’s cemetery. Maria Balaban’s lawyer said he and an attorney for the Congregation Ahavath Achim in Colchester reached a tentative deal Wednesday, in the middle of the trial. Terms were not disclosed. The congregation’s board and members must approve the agreement. Balaban, 73, sued the congregation last year over the burial of Juliet Steer in 2010, saying the synagogue broke its own rules against burial of non-Jews at the cemetery. Balaban initially wanted Steer’s body relocated, but dropped that request. The congregation’s lawyer had said that Balaban was suing only because Steer was black, which Balaban denied. (AP)."
