Why is it always so important to tell us that he was charedi or, for that matter, that he was even Jewish? Does it even make any difference whether he was black or white? Why do we always have to put up a wall between us? We are ALL created by HB”H and every life is important. If even the Mitzrim’s dying changed the way we conduct our seder and even our saying Hallel, then isn’t EVERY life important?
Chicago Maven – although you are right that it shouldn’t make a difference who the person was, YeshivaWorld is a “Chareidi” news medium and it’s readership are generally Frum people, so they tend to highlight details that pertain to the Frum community. That in no way trivializes should this have occurred to either a non-Chareidi or a non-Jew.
ikovitz,
Good point and I hope that’s the only reason that it’s mentioned. Unfortunately, I know that there are many people that don’t feel the same way that you and I do.
