Rosen faces mounting pressure over his planned Jaffa hotel

Orthodox Jewish activists plan to turn up the pressure on developer Aby Rosen, whose planned $600 million hotel development in Jaffa, Israel will destroy an ancient grave site, they said, according to the New York Daily News. The Central Rabbinical Congress of USA and Canada said its group, Save the Graves, will picket some of Rosen’s high-profile NYC developments, including the Gramercy Park Hotel and the Core Club. This news follows last month’s gathering of the same group outside Rosen’s RFR Holding’s headquarters at 390 Park Avenue to protest the Jaffa development. [NYDN]
