    For the past 3 weeks, in the face of terrible circumstances, Am Yisrael came together with achdus. It didn’t matter what background the boys came from. Nobody asked, were they Yeshivish, chassidish, litvish, sefardic, Modern Orthodox, or any other form of Judaism. They were Jews, and that’s what mattered.

    Why must it take a tragedy such as this to unite us? Why do we bicker and fight endlessly, saying “I am right and you are wrong!” when things are going well? Maybe, when that happens, Hashem decides to remind us of how we should be acting.

    Let us take a lesson from these 3 boys. Let us take the achdus that they brought about, and not let it fade away. Let’s continue the spirit of achdus and ahavas Yisrael even when things seem to be going well. In the zchus of this, may the Beis HaMikdash be rebuilt, and may we know no more sorrow.

    Baruch dayan emes. Hashem Yinakem damam.

    Amein!!!!

    I step away from the CR for four hours and this update on the tragedy unfolds. I am WICKED angry at the monsters (that’s putting it mildly) who committed this heinous atrocity. My heart goes out to these innocent victims’ families.

    I wish it didn’t take such a tragedy for such beautiful achdus to come about among our nation. I agree that we should keep it up regardless of the circumstances; then we’ll be even more worthy of rebuilding the third Beis HaMikdash.
