Sheldon Adelson, the American casino tycoon who used his vast fortune to bolster Republican causes, was buried on Friday in a private service in Jerusalem.
The ceremony, which was attended by Adelson’s close family, was held in an ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, which overlooks Jerusalem’s Old City. His wife, Miriam Adelson, quoted from one of the couple’s favorite songs, Bette Midler's “Wind Beneath My Wings.”
