Amateur footage showed the collapse occurring during prayers Sunday evening in Givat Zeev, just outside Jerusalem, at the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. The synagogue was packed with hundreds of people.

The Magen David Adom rescue service said some 60 people were injured, including 10 in serious or critical condition.

The accident comes weeks after a stamped at a religious festival in northern Israel killed 45 ultra-Orthodox Jews.

Every chasidus needs to be practical and appoint a gabai in charge of safety for levayas , davening etc. BH klal yisroel is growing in leaps and bounds. Crowd control and safety needs to be a concern. Noone knows the reason of Lag bomer. But we need to make our hastadlious al pi derech hateva to ensure these kinds of things don’t repeat itself.
