Reply To: How should we as Jews mourn the loss of former president George h.w. bush?

BoccaMagid: What you say is true but I think the overall judgement on Bush will be more positive. He used some really bad judgement when he lashed out in the early 90s against the Jewish lobbying efforts on the hill in support of funding for helping EY resettle Russian Jews an had a really toxic relationship with Shamir. However, he was very involved behind the scenes in helping bring the Ethiopian jews to EY and in helping EY on critical national security issues. I’m no a big fan of Abe Foxman of ZOA but he observed that when yidden look back on Bush 41 they will see a “real Tzadik”.
