Lapid – no one believes you for a minute. The heartache that you and the other enemies of Torah gave Horav Yosef Zatzal over the last while without a doubt contributed to his deteriorating health and subsequent passing away. I think its more then a condolence that you ought to be giving the family.
Who needs your condolences all of sudden he crying that he leaves a grt hole just stay away nobody has any intrest what you have to say
Lapid using this situation to gain publicity, says it all about him.
Sometimes you gotta know when to shut up, Yair.
It is very respectful and graciuos of him to praise a leader who just was Niftar. Eventhough Lapid, truly, never agreed to our beliefs.
Lapid happens to be a straight shooter he doesn’t agree but has respect.
His only intention was to shtech Yiddin as always. No different from the nazis ym”v saying nebech after they executed someone…..ugh!
Lapid thinks a hole in the Torah world is a good thing. He aims to make it larger, ch”v.
Why can’t people just accept what he said like a mentch instead of attacking him wehen he is beiong civil. Did you say the same thing about your mayoral candidate who has nothing to do with anything?
Make it worse folks. There is no reason to complain about someone acknowledging the passing of a well known leader of Jewish Faith except that you are all contemptuous and hate the people Hashem has put before you in life.
He is acknowledging the fact that there is a concept of leaving a hole in the Torah World. I think that’s great news to hear from him. He has come to notice that there is a concept of leaving void in the Torah world and that there is pain attached to it. So he is aware of what’s bothering us about his decision.
Sometimes you gotta know when to shut up, Yair.
Lapid should remember why he is in public office.
