happiest- I understand your feelings. As I walked down 16th Avenue in Boro Park to work today- I was thinking and wondering- how people can walk the streets- do their shopping- talking and smiling. I figured everyone should look shocked and sad. It is difficult for me to smile today. I keep imagining Leiby’s a”h-last moments alive- what was done to his body after he died. We will never know the truth about what happened from the time Leiby a”h got into the murderer’s car until he was killed. Leiby a”h took his story to his grave.
I am crying as I write this- knowing that Leiby a”h was killed just a few blocks from where I live- and I didn’t know and couldn’t help him.
We will all get over this horror somehow- very soon. We all know that Hashem runs this world and He knows and knew what He let happen – and sweet Leiby a”h needed to leave this world- and we cannot know why Hashem made him leave this world in such a horrible way.
I will try to imagine Leiby a”h- sitting with Hashem- and enjoying. Hashem should help his parents, siblings,relatives, acqaintances & friends, to be comforted and feel safe and happy.
Leiby a”h will never be forgotten.
