As part of his tish for the talmidim of Yeshivat Har Etzion, whose friends are fighting in Gaza, the Belzer Rebbe expressed his sorrow over the murder of the esteemed dayan Rav Elimelech Wasserman Hy”d.
On leil Shabbos, hundreds of talmidim from Yeshivat Har Etzion in Gush Etzion participated in the tish led by the Rebbe, held annually on the Shabbos of Parashas Vayishlach. After the tish, the Rebbe gave the talmidim fruits from the tish in his residence and they sang niggunim.
During the tish, one of the rabbeim from the yeshiva, Rav Mordechai Friedman, approached the Rebbe and informed him about the difficult times the yeshiva is going through, with a hundred talmidim located in the Gaza Strip. They requested the Rebbe’s bracha, especially considering that several talmidim from the yeshiva have been killed in combat in Gaza.
The Rebbe lowered his head and, after a while, spoke with pain.
The Rebbe blessed the talmidim and the soldiers fighting in Gaza, referring to what is written in the parsha: “Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Eisav; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me down, the mother with the children” (Bereishis 32:12).
