Psalm 145
Meron: The Tragedy of Them – No, Us
מפעים: הנער ההרוג ממירון הגיע בחלום לאחיו
The article above relates that one of the young victims appeared to his brother in a dream and asked that Tehillim Chapter 145 should be recited in his name three times a day. in addition to the times that it is said in the Ashrei prayer, as a merit for the soul of Moshe ben Malka Freida.

Instead of
Bhol.co.il has published a letter that Rabbi Shimon Matalon, AH, one of the victims of the Meron tragedy, gave to an acquaintance this Thursday who was told to open it on Sunday. Below is a loose translation of what was written.
Instead of being filled wiith disappointment - accept everything with love
Instead of being rigid - be flexible
Instead of grumbling - let the mind rule
Instead of griping - thank more
Instead of complaining - filter out the bad
Instead of drowning in water - say 'everything from heaven'
Instead of blaming the whole world - remember who is the greatest of them all
Instead of seething - take a deep breath, stretch
Instead of getting upset, exercise faith
Instead of seeing black - in the full half choose
Instead of sinking into depression - remember that from every experience G-d saves
Because G-d determines the situation - and you the mood

A Single Moment
The other day, I was listening to a radio station when I heard a song with lyrics taken form Ethics of the Fathers containing the words, "A single moment of repentance and good deeds in this world is greater than all of the World to Come."
As I concentrated on the words, I realized how precious every moment of life is and that time should not be wasted, but, rather utilized for doing good deeds and accumulating scores of mitzvot that will stand us in good stead during our ultimate journey. As the tragedy in Meron befell us, we are more likely to contemplate the ephemeral nature of our time in this world and understand that we don't have all the time in the world to do what must be done. Why not use this moment to contribute to a worhy cause, or to learn a devar Torah in the merit of those who were noftar. You can donate here to help the victims' families , or here or donate to Oorah
פרק ד משנה יז
הוא היה אומר: יפה שעה אחת בתשובה ומעשים טובים בעולם הזה, מכל חיי העולם הבא. ויפה שעה אחת של קורת רוח בעולם הבא, מכל חיי העולם הזה Ethics of the Fathers, Chapter 4 17.
"He would also say: A single moment of repentance and good deeds in this world is greater than all of the World to Come. And a single moment of bliss in the World to Come is greater than all of the present world."

A Simple Cheshbon Nefesh: Why Did This Tragedy Occur?
Embrace the pain, resist the blame
Parshas Behar starts by saying that on Har Sinai Hashem told us the mitzva of Shmitta. Rashi famously asks, "What is the connection between the two?" Rashi explains that just like Shmitta was given on Har Sinai, so, too, were all the mitzvos in great detail. Yet, the question remains, why choose Shmitta out of all the mitzvos to teach us this lesson?
The Ben Ish Chai answers that Har Sinai and Shmitta have something in common. They were both in a bad position, but this was precisely the reason for their success. Har Sinai was not even a candidate for Kabolas HaTorah, as it was way to small and plain. However, in this merit, it was chosen. Similarly, Shmitta is a disastrous year agriculturally, but precisely because of this Hashem blesses the land with incredible abundance as a reward.
This connection is not only the similarity between the two, but a lesson for all mitzvos. We need not fear the perceived loss from doing any mitzvos, be it the extra cost of money or time required by the mitzva. In every mitzva, it is this sacrifice that will sow the seeds of reward.
