Today, Wednesday, marks the Shloshim of avreich Simcha Bandarsky z”l, who was a member of the Breslov community of Betar. He was niftar at the age of 41 following a prolonged illness. Today, his son will have his bris, an event that will indeed be a bittersweet simcha.

After the bris and the seudas mitzvah, the family will visit the kever in Har Menuchos for the hakamas matzeiva, bringing the children back to the sharp reality of their pain as they once again recite kaddish for their father.
