- Rav Yitzchok Zilberstein shlita spoke divrei chizuk in response to the morning’s deadly terror attack at the Ramot junction in Yerushalayim. “We are in a time of immense distress; the pain cries out to Heaven. Six Jews were murdered al kiddush Hashem in the attack, and four soldiers fell as kedoshim in Gaza. Hashem should avenge their blood,” he said. “These were bnei Torah who went out in the morning, their wives waiting happily to greet them for Yom Tov. Some even gave their wives money to buy a new dress for Rosh Hashanah. Now that garment sits there weeping what ‘simchas Yom Tov,’ what ‘chag’? The wife sees the dress and cries. Children who prepared divrei Torah to share with their father now sit shivah. Our joy has turned to mourning.” Rav Zilberstein noted that the tragedy occurred just a day after a lunar eclipse, which Chazal in Maseches Sukkah describe as a troubling omen for Klal Yisroel. “These are clear signs of tzarah. A lunar eclipse is a call for us to return in teshuvah,” as he called for chizuk in Torah learning and teshuva as each individual knows which areas they can improve in.

With no available spaces nearby, he pulled into two adjacent handicap spots to expedite the transfer. While the patient awaited transport, Jackson police officers confronted the Hatzalah member over the parking location.
