If you ask reality TV star Eliav Ta'ati, there is a much more burning issue for him than the approval of the law abolishing the grounds of reasonableness, and this is the method of burial on floors in Israel. "Is the reason for reasonableness what's interesting? Pass a law that there is no such thing as shelves," he demanded of elected officials.

While the country was on fire following the passage of the law abolishing the grounds of reasonableness, "Big Brother" contestant Eliav Ta'ati believed that there was an issue no less urgent (or more precisely, much more urgent) than the changes being made in the legal system, and turned his attention specifically to what he sees as a terrible failure on the part of the country's leaders: approving burials on floors in Israel. In a post on his Instagram account on Monday, he strongly attacked decision-makers on the issue. "I feel like throwing up on what they emphasize here," he enraged.

"Slowly I understand that in this country to die you also need money, and a lot! Not just to live," Ta'ati shared the conclusions he reached. "Shame, it's just a shame that in the Jewish state there are people who are childless or who don't have the financial ability to buy a plot of land for tens of thousands of shekels. And where are they buried? On the shelves or something that looks like that. Yuck, yuck, yuck," he found it hard to hide his anger.
"For or against reasonableness, is that really what's interesting?" he cried. "Everyone including everyone, after 120 will be in the same place!" he reminded. "Pass a law that there is no such thing as shelves, and there is no such thing as paying money for land! It's a law!" he demanded of Knesset members. "I feel like throwing up on what they emphasize here," he reiterated.
Ta'ati then turned to Chevra Kadisha, an organization responsible for burying the dead. "You are doing holy work that is irreplaceable. In the end, everyone needs you. Get into proportion, friends," he requested. "As it is said in the book of Genesis, 'Until you return to the earth, for from it you have taken, for dust you are and to dust you shall return,'" he concluded with a quote from the Bible.
