""Dear young men who have not tasted sin are rolling down the stairs like stones""

May 3, 2021   

In Jerusalem, the late Avraham Daniel Ambon, 21 years old from Argentina, a student at the 'Heichal Yitzhak' yeshiva in the Kiryat Yovel neighborhood, who perished in the 'Meron disaster', was laid to rest this morning (Monday). Hundreds of his friends and acquaintances are accompanying him on his final journey. What are your chances of winning a duplex? And why is your dream closer than ever? Free: How much money are you losing because you don't know what your rights are? The coronavirus outbreak is on the decline, but a mask is still required in closed spaces. Remember? The funeral procession will only leave today, after his family members arrived from Argentina. The funeral procession will continue from the yeshiva to Har Hamenuchot in Jerusalem. The head of the yeshiva, Rabbi Yisrael Landau, eulogized his student along with the other victims of the disaster: "Dear young men who have not tasted the taste of sin are rolling down the stairs like stones." Rabbi Landau added: "Your parents sent you to the Land of Israel to study Torah. We thought we would meet your parents under the tallit of the chuppah, and instead you are here wrapped in a tallit. We do not know the accounts of heaven, but there is a question for which we have no answer how that shining face was thrown to the ground. Avraham, what gentleness of soul, modesty and humility. Avraham, you are a son of the world to come. "When God, the Blessed, has to take a precious soul, it is difficult for us, it is difficult for the whole world. Why did the king go down to his garden to pick 45 roses in the middle of the holiday? There is a Creator of the world and he knows what he is doing and who to take. And when you recognize this, you understand the whole point. Dear parents, I wanted to return your son to you, I bless you. The whole world is in deep sorrow from Argentina to the Land of Israel." Rabbi Daniel Cohen, one of the yeshiva rabbis, also eulogized: "We will no longer see Avraham's smiling face. A sweet smile when he says good morning and peace. We will not see him studying in the beit midrash, can we imagine that? To realize that Avraham is not with us. The sweetness that is all perfection and purity and cares for others modestly and quietly. For 4 years this was his home. We received a terrible, painful, and heart-wrenching slap. God spoke to us for a whole year and did we hear? Now that we hear a cry, a suffocating cry, a cry of a thin silence. "How can we describe such a terrible disaster that God shoots arrows into our hearts that we feel the sorrow and disadvantage that we feel that He is speaking to us so that we do not continue with our routine and the usual course. One can imagine that it is impossible to breathe and hear cries of brokenness and there is no savior. Avraham Daniel exiled to the place of Torah, who today is exiled to the place of Torah? A few days have passed and the heart is already sealed. We must not forget, we must not ignore. The blood of our brothers cries out to us to rise up and build the tabernacle of the Lord. We must not forget the cries of suffocation and the shocking death of those righteous people." [Gallery]
