The whole jewish world, from all the globe, men, women and children, are now in difficult days, in great mourning, astonished and broken, following the great rift in the terrible disaster that befell us, in the terrible deth of 45 קדושים and טהורים. among them were young people who didn't taste the taste of sin, who came together with thousands and tens of thousands to הר מירון with simple faith, to be on the day of Lag B'Omer by the holy Zion of the Divine Tanna Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai.
They came to pray in this holy place where tens of thousands of people in all generations had big ישועות, because of their great faith in Rashbi's promise in "יכול אני לפטור את כל העולם כולו מן הדין". מסכת סוכה
And here, in the place of exemption from the דין, holy and pure 45 people were killed, in a terrible way by failing and trampling a man on the heel of his brother, instead of returning to their home in honor of שבת קודש to observe the מצווה of עונג שבת their pure soul returned in a storm to heaven, and for that we cry (איכה ה-א) "זכור ה' מ"ה היה לנו"
The great cries uttered by the saints as their souls went forth in holiness and purity, broken cries of "שמע ישראל" That opened all the gates of heaven, "ותעל שוועתם אל האלוקים", will accompany all those who have been there, and also all those who have not been there, all the days of their lives. in the space of the world the great cry of ירמיה הנביא resounds "מִי יִתֵּן רֹאשִׁי מַיִם וְעֵינִי מְקוֹר דִּמְעָה וְאֶבְכֶּה יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה אֵת חַלְלֵי בַת עַמִּי" (ירמיה ח-כג)
Fathers and mothers sit in mourning over the deaths of their young offspring, shedding streams of tears over their great loss, that they will not be able to walk their son the blink of an eye, to the חופה, to see and enjoy how they build a בית נאמן בישראל. sons and daughters sit שבעה on the death of their father, that they will not hear from him words of education and encouragement, and no longer sit with him on שבת and ימים טובים.
What a great sight to see how the whole jewish world form all arownd the world, חסידים, ליטאים and ספרדים. unite as one man in one heart, to keep the divine commandment of משה רבינו when נדב and אביהוא were burned "ואחיכם כל בית ישראל יבכו את השריפה אשר שרף ה'". (ויקרא י-ו) I wish we had gained this unity in full gratitude and glory even in times of joy and expansion
What is very appropriate to weep for the holy 45, in the last lament for Tisha B'Av which is the lament number 45, and here are two of the laments: "אֱלִי צִיּוֹן וְעָרֶיהָ [Jerusalem and the surrounding cities will lament], כְּמוֹ אִשָּׁה בְּצִירֶיהָ [As a tormented woman in her birth cords], וְכִבְתוּלָה חֲגוּרַת שַׂק [As a mourning girl wearing a sack], עַל [the death of] בַּעַל נְעוּרֶיהָ… עֲלֵי גָלוּת מְשָׁרְתֵי אֵל [Who went to prostrate themselves and pray by the holy Zion of Rashbi], נְעִימֵי שִׁיר זְמָרֶיהָ [Who sang their song in praise of בר יוחאי], וְעַל דָּמָם אֲשֶׁר שֻׁפַּךְ, כְּמוֹ מֵימֵי יְאוֹרֶיהָ".
