As we navigate the days of Chol Hamoed Sukkos, a time of joy and reflection, many are grappling with how to properly mark the first year since the devastating tragedy that unfolded on Simchas Torah last year. The massacre that claimed the lives of so many Jews left an indelible mark on Klal Yisroel, and the pain is still deeply felt.

To provide clarity and direction during this challenging time, we turned to Hagaon Rav Elya Brudny, chaver, Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, and rosh yeshiva of Mirrer Yeshiva, and Hagaon Rav Yitzchok Sorotzkin, chaver, Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, and rosh yeshiva of Mesivta of Lakewood.

We are privileged to share with you their words of Torah wisdom, which provide insight and guidance as we strive to process last year’s tzarah and the ensuing challenging year, while developing the proper approach to the remaining days of Yom Tov.
