    how horrific that you said that
    may you think before you speak
    he has helped thousands
    there are thousands of wealthy people who give very little or give it to the cats and dogs societies
    Hashem gave him a chance to use his blessings for good and he did
    may he be a gute beter for us all

    Don’t be so bitter. If you dedicate your life to helping others as much as he did, people will honour you too when your time comes.

    Dear Disappointed,
    you are still alive and have time to do Torah and Mitzvahs. Remember there is an eye that sees, an ear that hears and everything is recorded. Mr Sammy Rohr was a Kidush H”S in this world, who helped thousands and inspired many more.

    To post number one !! I am just simple. As. You. Are

  • #1???

    why in the world do you look at news. the tzackist is probably the only thing that makes a difference to you

    Mr sami rhor is one of the greatest philanthropists to live in are generation, and it is only normal that a new site covers his passing
    go back to evergreen and stop being upset that people give money to shluchim.

    To nr 1.
    The contrast is powerfull. Mr Rohr cared and gave to so many, whilst you, as you put it so well, care about yourself, and in fact don’t even want a website to write about it, if you do not directly benfit.

    When Hashem Gives $$ to smeone and he uses it to help someone else you say thank you.

    Yes We know that everything comes from Hashem.

    But we have to honor those who do the right thing

    Better to be a giver than a receiver. Makes you feel much better. Try it and see.

    Number 1: You are EL SICKO to write those statements about Mr. Rohr. The world stands on Torah, Gemilas Hassadim and Tefilah. If Mr. Rohr didn’t suit up to your needs Number 1, then you didn’t deserve his brochas. Shame on you and go jump in a lake stupid one…. to say bad things to a baal tzedoko. You piece of trash.
