The teachers at a Beis Yaakov school in Ramot approached the administration, asking what to be mechazeik in following the horrifying death of Ramot resident Yosef Eisenthal, z’l, who was killed at a Chareidi protest against the draft, and other recent tragedies in the neighborhood, Kikar H’Shabbos reported.
The question was passed to the director of Chinuch Atzami, Rav Eliezer Sorotzkin, who posed the shaila to HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau.
The Rosh Yeshivah’s response was published in a letter sent to the principal of the school. The Rosh Yeshivah said that the staff and students should be encouraged to conduct themselves with “vitur (concession) and forgiveness toward one another” and also to be mechazeik in Shemiras Shabbos and be makpid to leave before Chatzos when traveling a long distance on Erev Shabbos during the winter months.
In the letter, HaRav Landau stated that there is “great benefit in this chizzuk.”

The letter doesn’t say a thing about following the horrifying death of Ramot resident Yosef Eisenthal, z’l.
The Rav was asked a different question hence the response.
YOUR ARTICLE DOES NOT MATCH THE LETTER.
STOP CLICK-BAITING – Please
@mordechai haWtvr
The letter does seem to refer to that. Read between the lines. Don’t be so negative.
Dear moderators/all
I have daughters in the school.
The niftar has sisters in the school and his grandfather is the Rov of the neighborhood.
The letter is addressed to the menahelet of the school and mentions the death of the Bachur.
It is absolutely about that.
Please remove the first comment which is simply incorrect.
No click bate. No in-between the lines reading necessary. The boy was from Ramot, there was a terrorist attack there recently too. Their neighborhood has seen a lot of bloodshed recently.
Letter is obviously to do with the tragedy.
It’s addressed to the menahelet of the beis yaakov where the niftars sisters go as do my daughters.
