איך אפשר להסביר לך המצב של כולנו כשזה קרה כמה אנחנו דאגנו בעבורך כשיצאת מהגיהנום הדמעות בענים הפסיקו פתאום והתחיל שוב כשלא ראינו אביך ואמך its hard to explain the feeling we all had on that terrible day, how we were all worried for you, and when we saw you leave that hell, how are tears suddenly stopped, but then how our tears started again, when we did not see your parents leave. = אי אפשר לתאר הכאב שלך משלה נשמה אבינו רוענו ראה דמע של משלה נשמה ילד קטן אבל כל כך גדול ביום המר אבד את הכל חוץ… Read more »

Very Moving

I was very moved, was crying so much, it broke my heart. May Hashem avenge the deaths of Moshele’s parents and all the neshoma’s lost that day and the Neshoma’s of our brave soldiers, brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel, as a Kiddush Hashem,
MAY WE SEE THE COMING OF MOSHIACH NOW

we need more neshamalach who are singers

we dont have enough of those

if he cries for moshe how much of a position of spiritual influence moshele is in shame he got it under such negative circumstances

he can walk into any home and bring people together

bless u number 3

As I sit here in my Mokom Hashlichus watching this song tears don’t stop rolling, we must keep Moishe and his parents alive “Ma Zaroi”… one way we do it, when ten people show up unannounced and forget to leave…. or things are just hard we ask each other; what would the helzbegs have said. “Kef” it’s great…. we need to remember every Jew is a Moishle… only Ahavas Yisroel and not just for Fraye Yiddin.

wow
January 12, 2009 1:34 am

i cant beleive it poor moishe we love you so much ,may hashem your father look after you

Wow

we learn from this parsha how moshe was raised by his parents till he was 2 years old, then other people raised him, and he became a big tzaddik
we see the same story happening here with moshe holtzberg

Incredible song
