(23 Sep 2020) An Israeli kibbutz has changed its name to honour the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in a weeklong tribute to the Jewish American judge.
Kibbutz Ramat Hashofet, or The Judge's Heights, is named after Julian Mack, an early 20th century Jewish American judge.
The kibbutz in northern Israel said this week it was temporarily tweaking its name to Ramat Hashofetet.
Hebrew is a gendered language and the change turns the word judge female.
Ginsburg died Friday at age 87.
Esther Kamel Hakim, a member of the kibbutz said the move was made to cherish RBG's legacy and her contribution to justice and equality in the US.
