What I don’t understand is why all the businesses in Manahattan didn’t stop their work schedule and have hespedim yesterday. This was a huge bizayon hatorah on the part of all the working people of Klal Yisroel. In Eretz Yisroel, ALL the businesses shut down. They ALL went to the levaya. Why couldn’t ALL the businesses in NY close for 15 minutes and have hespedim?
Such bizayon hatorah on the part of the working members of klal yisroel in NY is unprecedented in recorded history of klal yisroel.
