WORST FUNERAL EVER!
OMG, I think I just got back from the WORST. FUNERAL. EVER!
Earlier today, I went to the funeral for my 90-year-old neighbor of 11.5 years, who just died of cancer. I was shocked by what I heard. It was the most rude, most absurd eulogy ever. I believe that real Jewish women aren’t rabbis. And that real Jewish rabbis aren’t women. That said, I wouldn’t be writing this if “Rabbi” Keren Alpert hadn’t delivered the most disgraceful eulogy ever–attacking the dead man who isn’t here to defend himself . . . and who was a really good guy. It was jarring for me and many of my neighbors who were there, most of whom are not Jewish and couldn’t believe the cruelty, nor could I.


My poor deceased neighbor was dissed and ignored by his grown, adult children for decades. We, his neighbors, helped him out and one of my neighbors took care of him until just a couple of days before his death, when one of his kids decided to finally put him in hospice with a full-time caretaker. But the children orchestrated the funeral, and they got a dumb, liberal chick rabbi to do their bidding and say absurd things, despite what should have been better judgment by a purported rabbi who is apparently vacant of all decency.
My jaw dropped as the “rabbi”-ette talked about my poor neighbor’s “estranged” relationship with his kids and how because of an alleged “emotional wall” he put up, he didn’t have contact with his grandchildren (a total lie, but even if true, completely inappropriate for a funeral eulogy where the deceased’s good graces should be sung). It was like out of a bad movie . . . and the kind of behavior that was so rotten, I thought it could only be confined to the fiction of movies. But I was wrong. A very disturbing and distressing experience in the very room of the funeral home where I delivered my eulogy of my dear late father nearly six years ago.
Even worse, the “rabbi” chick surmised about whether or not the dead man’s late father (from the early 1900s!) “was possibly” abusive and whether or not my departed neighbor’s deceased mother (who died in the early ’30s) “might have perhaps possibly been a buffer” for him from his father. Um, if it wasn’t so disgusting and tragic, this speculation upon speculation by grown children who didn’t know their father or his life as read by a paid-off tool of a fake rabbi would have been hilarious. Here’s a tip, Rabbi Alpert: if you don’t know whether or not something is a fact, don’t include it in a eulogy. Read the rest of this entry »
