  • we must change something! Ad mosai!

    Oy! what are we doing wrong! rebono she olam! why sooo many more tragedies than 10 yrs ago 15 yrs ago 20 yrs ago?

    what are we doing?

    what can we do to end this tragic news cycle!

    the Rabbis must inform the community how to re-attract the protections of Hashem on our community!

  • agree with coldead

    Kovod for the Mes!!! The halachas are very clear about what u can and can’t say… They are playing with fire..

  • COLdead

    Thank you for not publishing details, they are not needed or kovod for the mes! The need for other websites to sensationalize a story to show they have a more “exclusive” knowledge of a story is SICK in this case.

  • to emt moishy

    actually Hashem reads , hears and sees everything, one can pray, anywhere , anytime, and Hashem loves it.
    Baruch Dayan Haemes. May we all search, and improve to put a stop to this pain

    “Oy! what are we doing wrong! rebono she olam! why sooo many more tragedies than 10 yrs ago 15 yrs ago 20 yrs ago?”

    Maybe a) the population is larger, and b) items like this weren’t talked about 20 years ago (no CH.info then).

    Oy! what are we doing wrong! rebono she olam! why sooo many more tragedies than 10 yrs ago 15 yrs ago 20 yrs ago?”

    Duh.

    The Neshama klallis from the Alter Rebbe on was in a guf here, and a meigin. Maybe it is time to bring that neshama into a living person – open your eyes and you will see where/who.

  • a mother who lost a child

    My heart breaks for this child and for his family. May the family be comforted. BDE

  • How to end this Tragic news cycle!

    Another sweet family gets Tzaros Tzruros HY“R!

    Torah teaches us how to re-gain Hashem’s protection to our community

    ”Vehayu machanecha KADOSH“ vda”l

    lets hope that those who have the ability to learn what the Rebbeh said (re Protection to our Machaneh) will do their part!

    after all we can and must put all our personal issues aside when it comes to Pikuach Nefesh & Public safty!

    lets show Hashem we are worthy of his protection once again!

    Geulah Now!

  • this is unprecedented

    never nefore has th flow of tragedies been so frequent!

    what r we doing different!?

  • BD E

    what a tragic loss, for his family, for the community and for klal Yisroel.
    Everyone please stop for a few minutes and do a mitzva l’iluy nishmas this young bochur.
    Only more mitzvos will bring the geula. and then Eli will be reunited with his family.
    TO the Ottensteins, May haShem Comfort you among the mourners of Tzion and Yerushalayim

  • BDE

    Dear Ottensteins, May Hashem Comfort you among the mourners of Tzion and Yerushalayim. you’re in my prayers.

  • i read what the Rebbeh said re Safety

    there are very clear steps the public can do:
    1) Annual checks on Tfilin & Mezuzos
    2) Jewish self respect, in the form of adherence to jewish-law in modesty
    3) Chitas

    the above has an impact on the collective safety on the entire community especially Sheitul,
    -this is according to our Rebbeh, who seeks only our own best interest, we can trust him!)

  • let-s stop talking in....

    The Rabanim have said over and over again throughout the years, in all communities, STOP TALKING IN SHULE!

  • Max

    Dear Jonathan and family,

    Boruch Dayan Haemes

    May hashem give the family strength to cope with their loss.

    With deep sadness in my hart

    May Hashem Comfort you among the mourners of Tzion and Yerushalayim.

  • re #21 smart approach

    to go to the Rebbe’s teachings for instructions how to prevent tragedy & bolster divine protection against all tzaros!

  • lets say it as it is!!

    Hashem give this special family the comfort they need! Tchiyas Hameisim!

    fyi:
    when the lubavitsher Rebbi spoke of the pros of tznius & the dangers of the opposite he was not originating this view, he was quoting chumash, & chazal on the pasuk “vehayu machanecha kadosh”
    the Rebbe’s derech was very far from MUSAR, still on this toppik the Rebbeh pointed to the harm caused to not just ones own prosperity but the harm to the entire comunity R“L

    the Rebbe begged us to learn & head his warning bec he desired to prevent the Mageifa we so clearly have HY”R

    lets unite & follow the Rebbe b’achdus! for the sake of preventing future tragedy R“L

    its not ones private prerogative! it has devastating consequences on the well-being of the entire ”MACHANEH”

  • to 25 & ch.info

    i agree!

    thanks for having the compassion to say what has to be said to stop the tragedy trend in our community!

    yes wen u drill a hole in u own personal seat on the ship! u hurt the ENTIRE SHIP, so yes its not ones private buisness how one behaves re Mitzvos which affect the collective security of the whole community

    enough said!
