Upon consultation with its rabbinic leadership, Agudath Israel released the following statement about the tragic events in Meron.
Agudath Israel: There Are No Words
מה נאמר ומה נדבר.
There are no words to describe the terrible tragedy of what happened in Meron on the holy day of Lag B'omer.
All of Klal Yisroel is numb with shock. So many deaths, so many injuries, so many broken hearts. The pain is unbearable.
At this time, when we are united as one through our grief and tears, let us all rededicate ourselves to the foundation principle of Ahavas Yisroel, love of our fellow Jew. כלנו בני איש אחד נחנו -- we are all brothers, beloved children of Hashem. We must be נוהג כבוד זה לזה, treat one another with honor and respect and love.
Let us, on this holy day, pour our hearts out to the רופא לשבורי לב, the great Healer of Broken Hearts. May He bring comfort to the bereaved, healing to the injured, and mercy to the entire Jewish People.
