Chareidim Do Not Attend Funeral of Maia and Rina Dee

 

In the last few weeks, three pairs of siblings were brutally torn away from the Jewish people.

The youngest pair of siblings murdered by the Arab savages were the Paley children; they were Chareidim. 

It seems that the Arab murderers do not distinguish between Jews, to them, a Jew is a Jew, is a Jew. To the murderers, a chilonie Jew, a Sfardie, an Ashkenazi, a Chasid, or a Yeshivish Jew are all the same. 

But to the Jews themselves there are differences.

 How do I know that? How do I know that even in tragedy we don't get together?

 There is a saying that says that one picture tells an entire story. If you look at the photos of the levaya of the latest kedoishim, Maia and Rina Dee, you will not find one single Chareidie Jew! Not one Yeshivish Jew, not one. 

And this wasn't a day where the bochrim were "hureving" over a daf in yeshivah, nooooooo! It was Choil HaMoied! 

I heard the father's hespid and he being magnanimous, praised the "achdus"of the Jewish people. 

I didn't see it, at least not at the levaye of his two daughters.

I am not a prophet nor a son of a prophet, and I don't pretend to know what message Hashem is giving us. 

But what I can do, and what every believing Jew should do is look back at what happened and try to take away our own ideas from these tragedies. 

   

Three sets of siblings were torn away, executed for no other reason then them being of the Jewish faith. Three sets of siblings! 

One set were Dati Leumi and went to the army, the murdered girls did shirut le'umi and of course the Chareidie children, were just children. The common denominator is that all three sets of martyrs were Shoimer Torah Umitzvois! It seems that Hashem didn't distinguish between Jews serving in the IDF and those who didn't! 

What I am taking away from this is that we, and when I say "we" I mean chareidiem, should be the ones to be mekareiv our chiloinie brothers and sisters, even if they hate us, even if they push us away.

 What a beautiful message did the chreidim of Bnei-Brak give to the world when they offered love to the far-left protestors that came to disrupt the Bnei-Brakers just two weeks ago.

Siblings were murdered and it is "siblings that have to get together in "achdus" and it is us.... yes us, frum Jews that should be the ones to initiate and facilitate shalom amongst us, and maybe then we will be able to show them through love how beautiful our traditions are.

Let's begin with our own, the ones that are Shoimrei Torah Umitzvois, Lets be supportive of them in times of joy and in times of tragedy. 

And for those who scream that we should not have anything to do with them and to scream "nazi" etc at their chiloinie brothers, I wonder what they would do, if their own child or their own grandchild, or brother or sister would go off the derech, would they scream "nazi" at them?
