Tragedy In Ukraine

They wouldn't have even heard about something so far away.

They heard but it took time to reach them.

Maybe about larger scale tragedies. Definitely not 3 people.

Maybe about larger scale tragedies. Definitely not 3 people.

Except if it involved neighbors or friends.

This was actually a local tragedy happening far away.

I really don't understand why stuff like this is public. It's like there's an insatiable appetite, a race to see who can post the saddest or most dramatic clip on social media and so rack up the most likes and be a hero.

The levaya video is one thing, but these tefillin were clearly laid out in this way to produce a dramatic effect for the video (and then sad of course sad music added to complete the package). The whole thing just sits wrong with me.

You thought that was bad ?

Beyond tasteless. Like they really needed that place crashing again at the end, just to remind you .

That being said: at least there's a point to it in this case. If you want people to donate, stirring their emotions makes sense.
