HaGaon HaRav Moshe Shternbuch spoke at his yeshivah in Ramat Beit Shemesh on Motzei Shabbos before the start of Selichos, Kikar H’Shabbat reported.

HaRav Shternbuch, who chillingly spoke about a massacre on Simchas Torah last year before the October 7 assault happened, began his drasha by saying: “??? ??? ?? ?? ???” and then burst into bitter tears.

The Rav continuing by saying: “The Navi cries: ‘????? ???? ???? ???? ?? ?????’. We’ll also cry out and say, so many tragedies happened this past year, so much blood was spilled, so much tzaros and yissurim – and the Am doesn’t tremble.”

“Indeed Hakadosh Baruch Hu decides everything on Rosh Hashanah,” HaRav Shternbuch emphasized. “How� could it be that we’re not full of fear and actual trembling?”
