Lebov's suicide will focus more attention on the topic, Zweibel added. Delury, who would push his wheelchair-bound wife to Sabbath services at Lincoln Square Synagogue a mile away, said the issue has become less abstract for him and his friends. A woman called him at home this week. Her husband is dying of bone cancer and is in great pain. Delury did not reveal his answer.
People are in pain, emotionally and socially and psychologically.
They deal with bodies but not with spirits, and what they are doing is hurting people's spirits. We ignore the spirit.
