Note that observant Jews who want assurance that promises related to Jewish doctrine will be enforced — whether as to cemeteries, as to kosher food, or whatever else — can enter contracts providing for arbitration by a specified religious tribunal (among Jews, this would be called a “Beth Din”). A Beth Din could interpret the religious terms according to its understanding of religious law; and then a secular court could enforce the judgment of the tribunal, because the secular court wouldn’t have to itself make any religious decisions.
