We can reach these things only by the cooperation of all parties and at the same time remember who we are, where we are, where we came from and what our aspirations are. If we put all this on the weight and then listen to each other’s side, I wish we could avoid such terrible things in the future. This day is as hard for me as for everyone and maybe even more so than everyone else. On this day, the reasons for the destruction of the houses of our temples resonate in my mind. I will remember this day as the day of national destruction. “On a study evening in his memory at the Ateret Cohanim on the first anniversary of his downfall, Shilo’s father said:” I think that Shilo has to a certain extent combined the two sides of physical strength with spiritual delicacy … , And even in the past month, we have been told stories we have not known until now, which show how raised, influenced and radiated on those around him. Guys who say that his conversations with them have caused them change and made them change the way of life and settle in the way of Torah study and observance. All this was done modestly and quietly … When we look at what he wrote, we are actually revealing an explicit will and clear guidance to us as parents, how to accept God’s decree “
