Hgray"l on the hostages, "Oy A Shreklicher Zach"

Hgray"l Steinman expressed deep shock over the murder of hostages tonight (Monday) and said: "The prayers have not gone in vain."

As told by a student and companionship of Hgray"l Steinman, Rabbi Moshe Yehuda Schneider, Hgray"l reacted with shock and said, "Oy A Shrekicher Zach. Terribble."

"He closed his eyes in sorrow, and asked whether "all three were killed" and sighed.

However Hgray"l referred to the fact they will be brought for burial and mentioned the story with the Maharam of Rothenburg who refused a ransom until he died and came to Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg in a dream, and asked him what would want, if you die soon and go to heaven and enter Gan Eden, or get rich, and he chose the first, and died instantly.

With regard to the many prayers Hgray"l said: "The prayers do not disappear. It is beneficial for other things. The vast strengthened of Klal Yisrael, certainly helped."

He added to strengthen in the study of Torah, to not waste time to not despair, as it says "man falls and gets up".
