To Reb Shmuli and his Eishes Chayil,
I vividly remember the Simcha and pride you had when we would schmooze about your B’chor, Dovi Z”L. He was a leibidike boy and a very pure Neshoma. I am sure that Dovi is smiling in Shomayim with his trademark Zeeseh smile. He is probably saying to all the Malochim how much he loves his Tatty and Mommy and doesn’t want to see them in such pain. He is probably begging Hashem to take us out of this bitter Golus. I along with so many of your Chaveirim are crying with you in pain over this unfillable void.
HaMokem Yinachem Eschem B’Soch Sh’or Aveilay Tzion B’Yerushalyim.

#22 Of course we dont KNOW why tragedies happen, however if we see something we can correct as a Tzibur we should do it. 1) As a zechus for the Niftar. 2) As a Nechama for the family. And 3) For ourselves so there is no Kitrug Chalila that we did nothing at all and just went on in our lives as usual. Any tikun at such a time is good. Especially one that the Tzibur needs much Chizuk in. As the Gemara says in Brachos: One of the things that are on high and need constant Chizuk is TEFILAHH! So why not NOW!!!

It pains me to see suggestions of what the collective sin might have been for this tragedy. We are told that when a person sees troubles coming his way he shoulod look at HIS deeds; we are pointedly not told to look at other person’s deeds. My heart goes out to the family, but we are not given to know nor to understand such tragedy.

In respect for this tragedy and to avert others, let us all take upon ourselves for this Shabbos (and future times), not to talk during Chazaratz Hashatz and Krias Hatorah.

May we be zoche to Moshiach BB”A

There are no words that can be said that can bring a nechama to these two families. My heart was crushed when i read what had happened.

Rabbi Levitan, or Chazal as you were known many years ago when we were once close…..I can not tell you how devestated I was when I logged on early this morning. I remember shmuli when he was 5 years old. It all flashed back this morning as read the tragic news.

May the thousands of word of nechama you and your family (as well as the Scheinerman family) hear this week bring some nechama to you.

Oy! Hashem Yerachaym.We need Moshiach now!

Lets remember not to take for granted all the wonderful gifts that the ribono shel olam has granted us. let’s unplug ourselves from all our distractions and learn to appreciate the true simple but huge gifts that our wonderful has given us and continues to shower us with constantly.
Let’s appreciate our health. Let’s appreciate our childrens’ health. Let’s appreciate our neighbors’ childrens’ health, and let’s even appreciate our neighbors’ health.Let’s “unplug” our cellphones, our computers, our televisions, our phones , at least for a few short moments during the day and turn our minds and our hearts towards those who really should matter in our lives.
Let’s actually listen to what our children are telling us, as trivial as it may seem, without looking at the caller ID to see who it is that is calling. Let’s travel in the car and listen to each other instead of to the radio.
There is so much in our lives that needs to be fixed and that can be fixed with small but substantial steps. Let’s remember our neshomos and let’s be more in touch with them. After all that is what we all are, NESHOMOS. Otherwise, it is ten times harder to absorb the tragedies that occur around us.

May the ribono shel olam send nechama to these wonderful families from whom hashem has taken back the gift which he had given them for 5 precious wonderful years. You have treated this pure neshama the way hashem has wanted you to.
may all of klal yisroel who are mourning with you have a true nechama soon.
