In the face of unspeakable tragedy, we remember. Lives cut short, worlds forever broken, solely because of their unwavering Jewish faith. Their loss is an ache that knows no measure. We may never truly grasp the why, but we pray, with tears in our eyes and pain in our hearts, for a world where such sorrow is extinguished, and these holy souls are reunited with us.

There's not much more to say that hasn't already been said. In the thread below, I will share some stories of miracles and kindness that I've seen, and I encourage you to reply with ones you have. Let's share some light in this incredibly dark time and strengthen one another.
The emotions that overcame me while walking along the Danube Bank in Budapest, Hungary yesterday are indescribable. The horrors our people experienced in this very spot as they gave their lives על קידוש השם is beyond comprehension. As I passed by more and more pairs of shoes, each representing another beautiful, Jewish life, I thought about the magnitude of our losses.
"...קהילות הקודש
שמסרו נפשם על קדושת השם
יזכרם אלוקינו לטובה"
"...The holy congregations who gave up their lives in holy martyrship. Remember them for good, O our G-d."
Just took a drive at 2am. @IamShulem is giving an interview on Israeli radio, about how singing is always 'Siyata Dishmaya', with the help of heaven. He said "does the saxophone take credit for a song? Singers are the same, an instrument of G-d". What an incredibly humble artist.
Nothing to see here. Just a casual duet with the great @AndreaBocelli! Wait, is this even real? Impossible to put into words what sharing the stage with an idol like Bocelli was like! For now, some pictures will have to do.

Meet @sam_salz - the first @NCAA Orthodox Jewish player, serving as running back to @TAMU. Proudly displaying his yarmulka, Sam chose #39 to represent the lamid tes melachos and won’t play on Shabbos.
In recent days, the Jewish community has been a target of senseless hatred and antisemitism.
We so appreciate those that have been speaking up and advocating for us unequivocally.
And for those, unfortunately, with hearts full of hatred, we wish you the Sound of Silence.
Rachel Pisam, a #famousandfrum mother of 11, was unanimously elected head of the human resources department of Israel’s Fire & Rescue Services.
Pisam, 55, will be promoted to the rank of deputy chief [Tafsar], which is equivalent to the rank of a general in the IDF.
Today is the yahrzeit of the great Ribnitzer Rebbe. No words can properly express the feelings.
חבל על דאבדין ולא משתכחין.

Without getting into the whole Yeshiva Education Debate, the very fact that the @nytimes chose to publish a story about Yeshivas as the most prominent story on September 11th, when the terror attacks we suffered should be the top story, shows that the paper is extremely biased.
