israel now I just heard on the radio..that the 5 people are a father and 2 kids and a father and one child!!! Its SO tragic..the driver was slighly injured…the bus that came across the car no one from the bus was injerd…only the driver a bit
The pain is more that we do NOT have in todays world the Tzadikim ,Gedoylim to tell us why such a horrible tragedy happened..A father with his young neshumelech who never in their life sinned went to such a holy site and are zoyche to give their children the first haircut with pieess get cut away from us in such a tragic accident…It happened on such a holy day and on the way home from the tzadiks site …..we all know that there is no “MIKREH” by hashem and hashem is demanding something from us and we dont know WHAT…instead of pointing our fingers on every reason why this happened ,lets do Tshuvah every one what he feels he needs to be better at…Could be maybe Netiles youdayim,making proper bruches,bentching,davening without a cell phone,dressing modest,do more mitzvehs bein udom lachveroi,gemiles chasudim,biker cholim and etc. May the the Avi Yesoymim and Dyen Almunes give the Almuneh and her family the strength to carry on and be merachem on Klal Yisroel…
Please, please, please stop speaking and texting while driving.
Such innocent neshomos! PLEEEASE EVERYONE… lets do teshuva so that we should be zoche to the geulah sheleima bekuriv…
HAMUKEIM YENACHEIM ESCHEM BESOCH SHE” AR AVLEI TZION BEYIRUSHALAYIM!
Firstly, the name is spelled Ouaknin.
The driver wasn’t texting/talking, but fell asleep at the wheel after having spent hours at the Tzion. Do NOT drive when tired, even if you think that you can handle it. May we know no more pain.
Hashem Yirachem. It seems every year there is a tragic accident involving people traveling to or from Meron. Hashem Yirachem.
How sad on one of the happiest days of the year
My heart grieves in pain for their loss!
