I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

gooooood. I've been reading on Mandela and he has done much bad.
Hi Carl,
Hmmm indeed.
As much as I appreciated what Mandela did (and I wish his soul rests in peace), I can't set aside the politics of South Africa and its anti-Semitism. This being said, I would send a wreath and a card, but I wouldn't attend either - if I were a politician.
Cheers
The funural will be also the 'Superbowl' event for Terrorist orgs like Al-Sabaab and consorts.
Just out of a safety point of view it's a nightmare.
And Rouhani embracing Obama next to Mandela's coffin is to much for any Rightfull soul.
Carl, I have a feeling that Bibi knows full well that Mandela was a vile Jew hater and a communist, and that is why he made an excuse re the cost. He and his wife are almost as bad as Hussein and Moochelle when it comes to spending the people's money on themselves. I smell a rat...a big one!
