Here is a shiur given appropriate for Tisha B'av li'ilui nishmas Sara Bas Mori Vi'Rabi Harav Zev Klein Shlita. She died tragically last week at the age of 17 and ever since then I have plunged into sadness and my own feelings are NOTHING compared to how her family feels. May we see an end to the innumerable tragic stories we hear.

Many otherworldly stories have been told about her in the last few days and I will share one that should also be a source of merit for her if we take upon ourselves a kabbala: She was a very pretty girl. She told someone once that she would daven whenever she left her home that boys shouldn't look at her on the street!!!

So the kabala should be for women that they should dress in a way that won't attract the roving male eye and even add a prayer sometimes to that effect. And for men - NOT TO LOOK. It brings you down and contaminates you.

This will make the world a spiritual place which will cause Hashem to dwell amongst us. ולא יראה בך ערות דבר ושב מאחריך

When there is immorality - Hashem "leaves". When we are pure - He returns.

More to cry for..... and yet more.
