Dozens of almanos and yesomim of Meron victims flew to Ukraine on Tuesday night for a chizzuk trip, B’Chadrei Chareidim reported.
The trip participants will visit kivrei tzaddikim throughout the country and attend a Hachnasas Sefer Torah l’illui nishmas the 45 Meron kedoshim in the city of Yampol.
The five-day trip was arranged and subsidized by the Amutat Kedoshei Meron, headed by HaRav Meir Nachman Elhadad, who lost two sons in the disaster.
Many of the participants have never left Eretz Yisrael and had to especially apply for passports to take part in the trip.

Dozens of almanos and yesomim Am I missing something? How about parents & siblings of the 45 Kedoshim?
Recently there was a news article on the history of pogroms in Ukraine
Between 1918 -1921
Over 100000 of us were slaughtered in about 1100 pogroms
Our mothers and sisters were raped
Many more left destitute after our homes had been ransacked
Is this where we go for Rosh Hashono or nechomo ???????
Signed with the utmost respect & kovod
And with lack of understanding
Wow. What a thoughtful and meaningful thing to do for them. Kol Hakavod to the one who arranged it.
Chizuk means to leave Eretz Yisrael?!
חבל,חבל, חבל!!!!!!!!!

Given the awesome and progressively worse mess that the Zionists have made in the portions of Eretz Yisrael that the Zionists have invaded and currently control, it is not at all difficult to understand.
What a beautiful thing this is, to take away the zechus of never having left EY from these people!!
At least they could have brought them to a scenic place, like Switzerland, so they could get some menuchas hanefesh, rather than tour the blood-soaked Ukraine.
