Bayit Yehudi leader Minister Naftali Bennett was in the Har Nof neighborhood of Yerushalayim on Wednesday morning 26 Marcheshvan, taking part in the minyan, the site of the shul massacre in Kehillas Bnei Torah one day earlier.
Zaka completed its work of chessed shel emmes and the shul was clear for returning to regular activities. Also attending shachris in the shul was MK (Yesh Atid) Dov Lipman.
The two wished to join mispallalim, with Lipman telling the media “It was important for me to come today, particularly to this shul and this minyan to give support to the mispallalim and to send a message to the terrorists, that their acts of terrorism will accomplish nothing”.

Amazing, they know they were the cause of this terrible tragedy. Did they really think this will placate their guilty conscience.
They need to mevatel their gzeros against Torah, listen to our Gedolim about Har Habayis, for HKB”H to mevatel His gezeros!
#1 i can’t believe you made such a foolish remark. You have no idea why this massacre happened. Maybe it happened because you speak loshon harah or talk during davening
Wow…continue your speech let’s see how far it will bring am Israel closer to geula….did you ever think maybe YOUR speech and accusations could be the cause of this? Did you ever think YOUR actions could be the cause of this? We are not allowed to give logic and to answer why Hashem does what he does but we could start by looking at what we do and how we could make a difference into inspiring others to walk in Hashem’s path so as not to have history repeats itself….Teshuva starts with oneself and not with blaming others for our own discrepancies….
maier do you have some sort of direct connection to hashem that you know why things happen
Maybe this holy shul will have a hashpa’ah on them
STOP! all of you! look at yourself’s, i don’t usually comment but it was painful to read such comments!
Not to play into #1’s foolish games, but I doubt anyone in that shul goes to the Temple Mount.
I live in Har Nof, quite close to Kehilas Bnei Torah. I have been personally and directly affected by this appalling pogrom. I also have serious Hashkafic disagreements with the two politicians mentioned in the above article. And this did not stop me from being touched and moved by the gesture of solidarity that, to me, their coming here represented. One may cynically suggest that they woke up early in the morning (6:25 Shacharis, not the 7:00 as reported by the media) for political gains. Is it not possible that, as public figures, they were moved enough to show Achdus and support? I think that it is possible.
This now leaves them with 4 slots to attend Shacharis at all 4 Shivas over the next 4 weekday mornings.
i agree with number 8. and bennet lives in ranana and lipan in beit shemesh, so they had to wake up at least an hour and a half earlier. and i dont agree with their haskafahs at all. and i am a born cynic. but it still is touching.
