Reply To: Muttar for a Rabbi to discuss the awful shooting on Shabbos?

I explained to my sister that we do not mourn and speak of sad and terrible things on Shabbos. For example, if Tisha B’av falls out on Shabbos, we postpone the fast to Sunday. Also, if one chas v’shalom is sitting shiva, you don’t sit shiva on Shabbos. “G-d created the world in six days and rested one the seventh. Shabbat is not an escape from reality, it is an escape TO reality. Time to connect with our real selves, the soul. and recharge yourself to reengage with our broken world.”

Still, my sister felt that this was on everyone’s mind and the Rabbi should have spoken about it. So it is hard to explain to her.
