I’m sure these kedoshim want mchalilei shabbos speaking at their levaya
the tragedies we are facing are coming on after another.
first it started with the three boys . eyal,gilad and naftali
then. with our solders
then. with other people getting struck with cars and stabbed.
then with the four rabbonim in shul
now its this..
plus my cousin just went into a huge car accident and is in a comah.
how much more ??????????????????????????
stop it already please. enough is enough!!!
What place does “Singing of Hatikvah” have at a levoya for kedoshim or indeed at a levoya of anyone?
