The widows and orphans of the four rabbis who were slain in
the Jerusalem synagogue massacre this week issued a letter calling for national
solidarity and unity:
With broken hearts, drenched in tears shed over the spilt
blood of holy men – the heads of our families.
We call on our brethren wherever they are – let us come
together so that we may merit mercy from Heaven, and let’s accept upon
ourselves to increase love and comradery, between each individual and each
community.
We ask that every person accept upon himself on this Sabbath
Eve (Parshat Toldot, November 20-21, 2014), to set aside the day of Shabbat as
a day of unconditional love, a day during which we will refrain from words of
disagreement and division, from words of gossip and slander.
May this serve to elevate the souls of our husbands and
fathers who were slaughtered while sanctifying God’s name.
God will look down from the heavens, see our suffering, wipe
away our tears and put an end to our tribulations.
May we merit seeing the coming of our Moshiach (Messiah)
speedily in our days. Amen.
Signed with a torn heart,
Mrs. Chaya Levin and familyMrs. Bryna Goldberg and family
