Shul, bucher sorry for the typos

Yes, the 'learning in soul' is obviously a typo for learning in shul, but could be read rather ambiguously. It had me worried for a moment.

This video finally broke me down:
Watch: Kaddish prayer for victims of Meron disaster

Along with photos of chilonim in Tel Aviv lining up to donate blood.

We are all one family.

Thank you for sharing, I started crying and found myself mouthing the words of kaddish automatically. Truly we are an incredible people. The dead not in the ground and we proclaim His Holy Name. What else does Hashem want from us already.

I also want to add that this was a terrible gezaira. Nothing to do with safety and no blame to be assigned. Clearly a gezaira

I know the family (mother, sisters) of someone who was tragically niftar. This family has already endured tragedies Crying

I keep crying
I don't know how I'll pull myself together for my kids

They'll probably continue it will just be harder to alert the families and for them to make plans to come in.

I guess halachically they can only do pikuach Nefesh on Shabbos on the living.

Neither the niftatim nor their families would want any form of chillul shabbat to be caused by their petira.

It comforts me in a way to know that halacha is guiding us now as halacha doesn't change. I feel like this is Hashem's way of telling us what to do now.

Its forty minutes to shkiyah, and candle lighting time in Yerushalayim.

We all have a hard task, putting aside our mourning and emotions and focusing on Shabbos. Those of you in chutz l'aretz still have hours to hear updates and discussions, while we in Israel will be welcoming Shabbos.

Wishing that you may all gain new strength from the neshama yetera, and find comfort in the kedusha of Shabbos.

Shabbat Shalom

Unfortunately, a mes is muktzah so I guess they'll have to wait till after shabbos. It's so heartbreaking. I don't want to imagine the agony of the families.
