What exactly do you want us to say?

First, I don't know why this is in Judaism.
Two, Kol Dodi Dofek is a quote from Shir HaShirim that I never would have associated with RL two young people dying.
Three, I thought you were trying to make a shidduch between a 16 and 23 year old. I really didn't know what you were talking about.

Even now that I've read it I don't really know what you want anyone to say.

The "Kol Dodi Dofek" poem about the many sudden deaths in our community, was
1-posted on Yeshiva World,
2-printed in the Yated and I think the Hamodia as well , and
3-posted on THIS website in the very recent past.
4- and was very much talked about as a result of appearing on many forums.

Kol Dodi Dofek
Hashem is POUNDING at our door
Don�t we see what�s happening?
Do we know what might be in store?

The poem explains the connection.

82 Responded to �A poem about the recent tragedies� in Yeshiva Word alone. Others responded positively to all the other newspapers it was in. Not one negative comment.

This was the first of 82 all positive responses there to that inspiring poem:

Well put it hits all the notes,
and it really stirs the soul
anyone who reads this,
can�t leave with their heart - whole.

Wink

Perhaps we ought to call this website Imacritic.

I would not use the imagery of a lover knocking at the door in connection with tragedies!
