A PLEA FROM THE WIVES AND CHILDREN OF THE 4 HAR NOF VICTIMS The widows of the Har Nof massacre have asked that this Shabbat be dedicated to ahavat chinam - love for no good reason. In the words of the super-talented Portnoy Brothers, in a single they just released from Jerusalem, Learn to love the ones who love you less. Translation of Widows Letter: A PLEA FROM THE WIVES AND CHILDREN OF THE 4 HAR NOF VICTIMS The widows and orphans of the four men 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 family Mrs. Bryna Goldberg and family Mrs. Yaacova Kupensky and family Mrs. Bashy Twersky and family
