I assume most of you have already heard about the sad events that happened yesterday in France. One of the main symbols of Paris, a functioning cathedral caught on fire and caused huge damage to the building. As an admirable act of solidarity, many started to offer donations, among them the president of a moderately religious Jewish group. Although I suppose many of us are also moved by this tragedy, I am afraid that Jews might not be allowed to contribute to the reconstruction of a place of avodah zarah.
Are there any sources discussing this issue?
What would be a religiously adequate act of solidarity?
