Ariel Sharon’s doctors don’t think he will live for more than a few days.
Shouldn’t we daven for him? A Yid who ran the country and protected Am Yisroel as a leader, as well as in the Army?
Where is the Hakaras Hatov? Anone know his full name for tehillim?
Without getting into the discussion of whether we should daven for him, his name is Chaim Ariel ben Vera Devora
It is quite awful what happened to him. He died without dying, so that by the time he dies nobody will really care because he was already dead for 10 years.
jewishness – if you ask based on his being a yid, I understand your question. if you are asking “where is the hakaras hatov for running the country” than you are either trying to stir up controversy, or you are disregarding the pain of a huge number of Israeli’s who lost everything they owned, and that question I don’t understand at all.
While it’s always important to daven for a yid, let’s not forget that Ariel Sharon is far from a tzaddik. From cutting funding to Yeshivas and Chedarim in 2002 to failing to stop the Lebanese in murdering the residents of Sabra and Shatila in 1980, he’s no tzadik and certainly doesn’t deserve a shlita.
Sharon once kept Shabbos while in office – through Rabbeinu Tam zman – at the request of a bomb victim. Now he has kept Shabbos for 8 years straight. Tzaddik or no, he has huge zchusim per the gedolim http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/being-able-to-fargin-nature-or-nurture
Jewishness – I hear your point but I don’t know that it holds for *Jews* who commit certain crimes against Jews. Perhaps it does.
Either way, perhaps you should be davening for him to have Hashem’s mercy, instead of a prolonged life, as he is no longer receiving the medical interventions that would be prolonging his life.
Jewishness – I don’t see it as having anything to do with appreciating good, it is about understanding that Hashem is in charge and everything we do is on record. We will all be accountable for all our actions when we return our neshamos and most of us will be in need of mercy before the Heavenly Courts.
Take it to another thread, old or new, there are plenty to chose from
Oh, ha ha. It literally means this or that. By the way, I’m a PhD in nuclear science. No, of course I didn’t get a degree, but if you break down the word, it literally mean someone who enjoys learning.
You can Daven for him is that he should get a chance to do Teshuva.
I am not comfortable making decisions about what is permissible to say or not say about a jew on his deathbed, regardless of who he was in his lifetime. This thread is closed. All anti-zionism and anti-the-anti-zionism threads can continue in the room next door.
