An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted January 31, 2021 11 minutes ago, Perhaps said: Couldn't he hang on another 24 hours for me for the Cup? Cheers Dove. And that's why its pointless to put a cup team together until the last minute. These inconsiderate bastards will just break your heart by popping their clogs with a day to go!

gcreptile 10,963 Posted January 31, 2021 I stopped sending him my Tefillim and Tehillah. It was simple prayer fatigue. I assume I was not the only one who felt this was, sorry, Dovid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,883 Posted January 31, 2021 Beside, no distancing has been respected at Dov's funeral and the health minister described it as "a funeral which will bring many other funerals". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And just several hours later Rabbi Yitzchok Scheiner (wiki) has died aged 98. He tested positive for COVID-19 on 24th January so quicker downturn. Meshulam Dovid Soloveitchik was the oldest rabbi on the Council of the Torah Sages. Scheiner was the second oldest member. Those accolades now go to Gershon Edelstein (b. 1923, wiki) and Shmuel Kamenetsky (b. 1924, wiki), respectively. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,883 Posted January 31, 2021 Rav Edelstein, some time ago, forbid his followers to check into COVID hotels because "their spirituality might be compromised" by television. Gladly I see they are mostly pictured as a bunch of exhalted twats even by Israeli media. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted January 31, 2021 So I think it was asked earlier if Meshulam Dovid Soloveitchik had any chance of a DDP obit. I say yes. Doesn’t look like he was picked though so missed opportunity 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,953 Posted January 31, 2021 A crowded maskless funeral practically beckons for more of their venerated elders to die of covid. Kind of a redux of the chain of events that killed Patriarch Irinej of Serbia. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,883 Posted January 31, 2021 Another one to watch might be Haredi leader Chaim Kanievsky, now known as the king of COVID. Never leaves home, is completely deaf and utters every word in an uncomprehensible way. Somehow he survived COVID in October, though it reportedly worsened his conditions.
