  1. Is stating “Among the passengers was Rav Boruch Mordechai Ezrachi” belittling to the value placed on the lives of the other 193 passengers OR is this simply how these things get reported on a site

  2. Commenter NO. 2….you can use some common sense!
    Should they put the names of all passengers? They reported that a well known person was on the plane..that is all!!

  3. #2: And if, lehavdil, your favorite rock star or football player was on the flight and that fact was noted by the goyishe rags, would you write a letter to the editor too?

    Don’t be so open minded that your brains fall out.
