But she prevailed, a sweet child against the world of darkness.

I remember the Vizhnitzer Rebbe’s travels to Ukraine in the month of Av, 1994. Together with 700 of his Chassidim, he prayed at the gravesites of many Tzadikim buried in the region, when he arrived in Berdichev a few days before Tisha B’av.

I wasn’t planning to write about this since I initially figured this was solely a private matter. After replaying it in my mind and talking about it with friends and family, I realized that it is should be shared with others too, since it wasn’t about my family and me personally, but rather it happened to us because we are Jewish, making it relevant to any Jew.
