    ng.said

    thank you for your heart breaking words it really made me shed tears,

    hashem should hear all of our prayers and we should all share simcha,

    P.S.
    please stop telling specific reasons why things are happening. we all have to prey and hope for mashiach, and try to do our best to be m’karev the geulah.

    may hashem see how even we are more then 2000 years in this exile and his chosen nation is still keeping all the mitzvos and so many organization’s are there just to do chesed and to help other people, and in that zchus he should bring mashiach tzidkeinu Amen!!!!!!

    i’m not trying to say why this tragedy occured, but all i can say is that klal yisroel should really,really daven for the geulah. we can’t afford anymore tragedies, chas v’shalom. this was surely a wake-up call.

    Why would and should anyone have any theories about why tragedies happen? Why do people always post this way? You should never, never theorize about why a tragedy happened. Unfortunately most adults who have lived long enough have heard enough tragedies of all stripes and if you’ve lived through one you know enough not to theorize about the intentions of the Ribono Shel Olam. This is really never a normal or Frum or Torah-true way to respond to tragedy. I feel it is worth noting it and hope that all of you take it to heart should any other tragedy occur Chas Veshalom. Just offer to help if it is needed and grieve if you–as many do–feel pain for those who are suffering.

    Everyone has theories of what this tragedy implies and means. It’s not the time to engage in this. There will be plenty of time afterwards. R. Yankel and his wife have very fine children and grandchildren.

    This is definately not happening because of Tznius problems in our community. Unfortunately some of us have been misled off the derech to believe that they control what goes on in this world. We can make our personal Hishtadlus in Mitzvos including Tznius, but the notion that any one Aveira or group of people are causing tragedy among us is Avodah Zara and an insult to those who suffer. Please make your own personal Hishtadlus in Shmiras HaMitzvos and keep the family in mind in your Tefilos. That is the appropriate response.

    Ha-Shem is sending us messages & we keep on sleeping & sleeping. Hashem is screaming to us to do Teshuva but we’re
    not listening.We’re just not listening. What’s going to be. What more does Ha-Shem have to do?
    As we’re hearing here & on so many other places too of so many tragedies racmono latzon. We have to return to Hakosh Boruch Hu. Look at what’s going
    on if you don’t see the all the deaths and destruction going on around us. It says UTeshuvah, Tefillah, Tzedakah & it says Teshuvah then Tefillah.I
    know for sure that on one thing Hashem leaves us & it’s written “Ve’haya
    Mechanecha Kodosh Ve’raah Becha Ervat Devar Veshav Meacharecha”. We have Shmiras Shabbos, we have shmiras haloshon, we have chesed so why are these things still happening Hashem Yerachem? Why then hasn’t Moshiach come yet?
    Because there is a lack of tznius. How much more till we wake up? So lets do Teshuvah so we will have a shmira from Hashem & be zoche to the geoula shelamah be’korov. In the zechus of women tzadkaniot it says “negaloo u’bezechs negel”. It doesn’t say in the zechus of Rabbonim or Rabbinot but woman. So
    lets all join together in this tremendous mitzvah.

    They come together
    To be husband and wife
    What a joyful simcha
    As they start a new life

    It was hashems plan
    But it makes me cry
    He was such a good man
    Why must he die

    Rachel our mother
    Cry for us,
    Cry for the mother and daughter
    Its a must

    Cry for our sons
    Cry for our fathers
    Cry for the little ones
    Who who were killed by “martyrs”

    We have been in golus for years
    We have shed thousands of tears
    Father, open your heart
    Even though we don’t do our part

    I open my sidder and daven
    To yell avinu shebashomyim
    Put out your hands
    And carry us to our land

    Take back your throne
    so we can all return home

    Enough with all the sorrow
    I’ve felt too much pain
    Father please hear me
    As I try to call your name

    Take us home,We wait till then
    AD MOSI!-till when

    After the first set, we were playing some dinner music when a frantic guest ran over and told the singer Yaakov Young to scream into the mic “Hatzalah to the front of the room, Hatzalah to the front of the room.” As you would imagine, a group had formed around the dais where the chatan and kalla were seated with their families. It was clear someone was already on the floor. People were shrieking in horror. The chatan and kalla are led out of the room. The crowd of 500 plus guests surged forward to see what had happened. Some of the guests were medics and began working on who, it became apparent, was the father of the bride. We heard he had choked. In fact, he suffered a heart attack. Hatzalah arrived and began to work on him. The caterer and his staff pulled mechizot together to cordon off the area so people could not see the medics franticly and violently try to push life back into the man’s chest. There were many prominent Rabanim at the wedding and one of them appointed someone to begin saying Tehilim out loud. The next half an hour was surreal. The medics continued to work on the man on the floor while sobs and tehilim rang out through the hall and people paced around with mouths agape. Finally, it was time to put the man in the ambulance. I think they realized there was nothing more they could do for him at the scene, and the crowd was instructed to move to the far left of the room so that they could wheel him out. As they were preparing to wheel him out, one of them must have pulled at the 20 foot by 20 foot lace tapestry that made up the backdrop behind the table, because that started to come down on the whole scene, eliciting yet more screams of horror from the already shaken women’s side of the room. They managed to avoid that crashing down, but something fell and shattered all over the place in the resulting scuffle to prevent the trusses from falling down. As the man was wheeled in front of me, I could see that the his facial features were bluish and that he was still not breathing on his own. After five more minutes, one of the Rabanim instructed us to begin the music again. The chatan and kalla were escorted back in and we began playing. The chatan’s friends danced enthusiastically for him and I made sure to peek over to kalla’s side of the room and I was amazed to her dancing as well. I think they did not tell her the full severity of her father’s situation. At the end of the wedding, the caterer told the band leader quietly, that the man had indeed died.

    Was at wedding from my wife’s side last evening (Eisenstein – mother-in-laws aunt’s family). At meal there’s an announcement for hatzalah. Bride’s father had a heart attack. The dais was converted into a triage. They gave him CPR for at least 10-12 minutes. The entire crowd was saying tehilim. They then used defibulator. Then the 12 foot backround of the dais fell on them. They finally carried him out. We don’t know if he is going to make it.

    This is the second story like this the past few months. Unbelievable. I was at the wedding, the chossen’s father, Izzy Eisenstein is a relative of mine. Right away when he fell down everyone saw that it is trouble. Unlike what someone wrote above, dancing didn’t continue. Everyone was saying tehillim. BD”H.
