Such a fine person is a blessing for her family ,friends and those who were lucky enough to know her, I take this opportunty to talk about separation.(I am not talking now about the separation of President Peres with Sonia Peres Z.L,because nobody knows the inside story of people) When separation is the best choice,let it happen nicely.Don t try to hurt your partner,to satisfy your ego.It is such a waste .When separations go smoothly,the door stays open for a nice phonecall,just to hear how you are.People who had a good relationship don t need to become complete strangers,because they could not agree about something important to both of them. If we want to achieve peace in Israel,let us begin near us. All my sympathy goes to President Peres and Sonya Peres Z-L family

She did not want to live with him, and did not want to be buried beside him either. A wonderful great woman

i am sure that he will still find his way to Davos in the middle of the shiva. the only thing that really interests him is himself. His wife was a woman to be admired.

Whatever may be the reason we all have to just appeciate the lady for her good deeds. Almighty gives and takes the life only he decides, everyone comes to life with its purpose. Just to keep in mind good words will only console her soul. Our every comments and words are heard.

For all the high and mighty out there, every marriage has it's problems and every marriage should have a voice. Obviously Sonya had a voice and it was respected. To all the woman kept in bondage on both sides of the Jordan and beyond....AT LEAST THE VOICE OF SONYA WAS NOT HELD IN BONDAGE in all FORMS BE IT PHYSICAL OR FEAR. To the men who keep their woman in bondage, YOU SHOULD BE MORE LIKE SHIMON. To allow a woman her voice EVEN when that VOICE out of silence HUMILIATES YOU, there is the man for me!!! I respect them both tremendously. No one should throw stones for their homes undoubtedly are made of glass....Sonya rest in peace. Shimon, you were a good man, as good as possible even better then some of your 'abusive' distractors. You were married to a beautiful, stellar and righteous woman and you sing her praise. And to all the conservative blogs out there across the world who did not even have a shred of decency to mention the death of Sonya Peres a righteous woman indeed, you should be a ashamed of yourselves. President Bush your Republican president did not even sign the embassy act or send a note of congratulations when we celebrated the auspicious day of the Anniversary of the Reunification of Jerusalem. Indeed Oslo was a disaster so great the ramifications will be felt for decades on end but nowhere will you find either Rabin or Peres suggesting Jerusalem to be divided so out of respect for President Peres, his beloved wife and family remember, Israel was there country too, not just yours.

to her family. May they receive comfort from Heaven. and may we all learn from her fine example.

buried? what is the point?

every, everything, a sizable get after long pre-divorce separation.

Her husband, the men who is the President of Israel, the one who is not what the people think he is or wants him to be. From me the only credit he will get is for advancing the nuclear program, every else was one big failure

...the sanctimonious and self righteous who refuse to even acknowledge the death of Sonya Peres. profess respect for the elderly through our commandments and devotion to Torah! Without the devotion to the State of Israel in the early days as displayed by the unselfish sacrifices this woman made to her country and people as just one example there would be no Yishivot to pray in. The woman is the heart of the family and deserves praise? Oh I forgot according to some only 'certain' woman deserve such titles. Such a pity, petty politics take over ones senses even when one claims to be devout. Wearing it is only half indeed. Hypocrites all.

'David' hmm 'USA/Israel/Egypt' Who should the people want as President? A rapist? A clone of Sharon? An ultra religious, ultra conservative touting an uzi in one hand and a bible in the other? Yes , that would make it all better would it not? You are right, there have been major failures but success beyond wildest dreams. Peres is a father figure not unlike the kind who wear golden robes and dark glasses spewing embarrassing nonsense. Seriously, can politics not take a break for 3 seconds?

a know-it-all, self righteous moron.

I need to confirm the birth date ??/??/1923 of Sonya Peres. Can you help me, please? Thank you. Heather Schaefer, MLS Sussex County Library Newton, NJ USA

Beautiful love story!
