Our oldest citizen has passed away at the age of 117.  Born in Yemen, he came here on “Eagles’ Wings” and worked in the orange groves.  Since we always wish 120 years on birthdays, it is amazing to discover how few of us make it to this age, and how blessed this man was to remain so long in good health, and die of natural causes in this time of corona. May you rest in peace, Shlomo.

in order to understand a bit more about Corona, it is important to compare the mortality in the Haredi communities with the Arab communities and to see how they treat the disease.  i am grateful for this article but i think it is impossible to get the statistics.  This is another sign that our government has lost control of the communities, and that we are returning to a tribal situation.
