These acts and beliefs stem from a fringe, superstitious customs among some Ashkenazi Haredi groups, who view Christianity as a form of “idolatry” (due to icons, statues, or the Trinity). It isn’t a mainstream Jewish practice—it’s condemned by most rabbis, Israeli leaders, and the broader Jewish community as a desecration of God’s name (chillul Hashem) and contrary to Jewish ethics of respecting others.
