The Shloshim for the victims of the Bondi massacre will take place on January 22, which corresponds with 4 Shevat on the Hebrew calendar. [4 Shevat is the yarzheit of the Baba Sali] These 30 days have been counted from the end of Chanukah.
The PM of Australia, looking very uncomfortable and having difficulty forcing the words out, made this announcement a few hours ago. I am finding all of this remarkable on so many levels. Albanese quoting Rabbi Ulman and speaking about Shloshim. Who would have thought....
Today is 24th of Teves which is the Yahrzeit (anniversary of passing on) of The Alter Rebbe. The Alter Rebbe in Iggeres Hakodesh (Ch. 28) writes that “all the effort of man which his soul toiled during his lifetime, is above in a hidden and concealed state. It becomes revealed and radiates in a manifest way from above downwards at the time of his passing ... and at the time of passing on, the chesed (kindness) of the L‑rd radiates from world to world over those who fear Him, and effects salvations in the midst of the earth.”
