I don’t understand how you do not see in the Chasam Sofer’s words exactly what I wrote.
He said:
????? ????? ???? ????? ???”? ???? ??? ???? ?”? ???? ?? ???? ????? ???? ??? ?????
Which means: When the many sins cause [a tragedy] chalilah, Hashem takes the greatest one amongst them Rl, to forgive the community, just as the Parah Adumah does.Following is a Kabbalistic explanation of how this works:
??? ???? ???? – ???? ????
???? ?? ???? ????? ?? ?????? ?? ????? ???? ?? ?????, ??? ???? ?????? ????, ??? ??????? ????? ????? ?? ???? ????? ?????? ???, ??? ??? ?????? ????, ?? ???? ??? ???’ ???, ????? ?? ???? ??? ?????, ??”? ??????? ?? ????? ??? ??? ??? ??????? ?? ??????? ??????? ?? ?????, ???? ???’ ‘???? ?????? ????? ???? ????????’, ?? ?? ??? ?????? ??? ????????, ???? ????? ????? ????? ????? ?? ??????? ????? ?????? ????”? (?”? ?? ?”?), ????? ??”? ?????? ???? ???? ???’ ??? ??????? ?? ?????? ????????? ????? ?????:
However, I would like to clarify something. I am in no way advising anyone how to be Menachem avel. It is a very difficult halachah to observe properly and it surely depends upon the individuals involved (the mourners and the comforters) and the situation and the timing and many other factors.
I joined this conversation because someone complained about the usage of the term korbanos by anyone, and, since I am aware of the fact that Gedolim do use that terminology, I objected to our opinionating ourselves.
As the conversation developed, I realized that some participants do not understand the concept at all and so I tried (apparently unsuccessfully) to explain it.
G-d willing, may we never have to console anyone again.
