The scene of the accident which claimed Amrom Altman's life.

While the tears have still not ceased to run down my face following today’s tragic death of Amrom Altman, the four-year-old child who died after being struck by a school bus, I cannot help but reflect once again on the fact that I, too, send my children to school by bus each day. Based on the available information, what happened today was not a freak accident. The child was not mountain climbing or water skiing where risk is understood and accepted. He was going to school – the very same thing each one of our children does almost every day of the year.

Dovi Chaimson, owner of Kingston Bargain Center in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, was with his wife on a main street in Jerusalem back in 2007 when he saw a sign: “Mincha at 3:15.” He was relieved to see a convenient minyan nearby where he could say mourners’ kaddish for his mother who had passed away a few days earlier on the 30th of Shvat.
