I hope he broke the fast once transported to the hospital and advised by medical professionals. Especially it being the 10th of Av.
TGIsShabbos: The article says that he felt weakFOLLOWING THE FAST. It was already the 11th of Av, and he had surely groken his fast by then.
it was after the fast, not during the fast
TGIShobbos: Why is that any of your business?
What a gall you have. @tgishabbos. You are a terrible ands frightening Chutzpaniak. Why , of all the nerve you have, to DARE say one thing. Chutzpah!
Go wash your mouth and fingers with soap!
70 years ago, the Chazon Ish ztz’l said of Rav Gershon shlita that he was a ba’al mu’m. Because the gemoroh says a talmid chochom has to have 1/64th of gaavah, and Rav Gershon doesn’t even have a 1/64th of gaavah!! Refuoh shelemoh!!
