Baruch Hashem. This self-hating Jewish anti-Semite went to Iraq in the 1980s and proclaimed Saddam Hussein a "moderate" after meeting with him. This was at the time when Hussein was promising to "incinerate Israel" with nuclear bombs. Hussein was actually quite close to developing nuclear weapons but his program was destroyed in the 1991 Persian Gulf war.

Baruch HaShem!

Also dead today is Hisham Saidani, a top Al Qaeda militant in the Gaza Strip who was fighting for the same cause as Arlen Specter!

He also went to Syria around Winter, 1998 but said it's "up to the sides to discuss the Golan Heights". As a Jew and as a Non-Muslim, he should have said Syria has no rights to Israel's land.

Under Halacha no eulogies are permmited at the funeral because of Rosh Chodesh (Tuesday and Wednesday).

Poliicial leaders accross the country have been reacting to the news that former Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter died today, Sunday Oct. 14, at his home in Philadelphia after a longtime battle with Hodgkin's disease. He was 82 years old.

Specter represented Pennsylvania for 30 years, starting as a Republican and making headlines in 2009 when he switched to the Democratic Party.

Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chairman Jim Burn issued a statement on the Senator's passing Sunday afternoon.

"Senator Arlen Specter was a true Pennsylvania institution whose record of fighting for our Commonwealth is unmatched," said Burn. "Senator Specter's contributions to Pennsylvania and the United States will leave a lasting legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with Senator Specter's family during this difficult time."

Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason also issued a statement statement on Specter's passing.

"The Republican Party of Pennsylvania extends its deepest sympathies to the friends and family members of former U.S. Senator Arlen Specter," said Gleason. "Senator Specter will always be remembered for his many years of dedicated public service."

Specter's funeral will be held on Tuesday at Har Zion Temple in Penn Valley with interment to follow at Shalom Memorial Park at Pine and Byberry roads in Huntingdon Valley. His funeral will be open to the pubic.

IsraeliHeart is correct that no Eulogies should be said at his funeral, as it is being held on Rosh Chodesh (which is this Tuesday)...

When Is the Eulogy Delivered?

The eulogy is almost always delivered at the chapel, at the home, or occasionally at the cemetery prior to burial. For outstanding scholars or community leaders, it may be delivered during shiva or on the thirtieth day after the funeral.

Eulogies generally are not delivered if the funeral occurs during the major festivals of Passover, Shavuot, or Succot, or during other holidays such as Hannukah, Purim, or Rosh Chodesh (the first day of the Hebrew month), or on afternoons immediately preceding these holidays, or on Friday afternoons, or on days immediately following the three major festivals (Passover, Shavuot, or Succot). The reason for this is that although the funeral is an occasion of grief for the family of the deceased, the joyous spirit of the holiday which is required of the entire community overrides the obligation and desire for lamentation by individuals. However, while bechi, the bewailing aspect of the eulogy, contradicts the spirit of the holiday, hesped, if done in the correct manner, often does not; hence it is on occasion permitted to deliver a very short eulogy emphasizing only the praise of the deceased, and encouraging the relatives to incorporate these qualities into their own lives.

Eulogies should not be made if this was a specific request of the deceased. Because the eulogy is yekara d'schichba, for the honor of the dead rather than for the survivors, an individual may elect to forego the honor. However, the mourners should not take this decision upon themselves if they merely conjecture that this is what the deceased would have wanted. Most people deserve a eulogy and should not be deprived of it because of speculation, although the conjecture may have been made in good faith.
