But of the many thousands drawn to the elevation of Rabi Shimon last week, and the hundreds who entered the horror that was the tunnel of death, one group stands apart.
From different cities, countries, and continents, they’d waved goodbye as they boarded a plane to learn in yeshivah and grow in kollel, to spend time in Eretz Yisrael or go directly to Meron.

LAKEWOOD - Just one month ago Hindy Rozmarin was celebrating her engagement. The young township woman had plans for a wedding in just five months to Menachem Knoblowitz of Queens, New York, according to her family.
But that all disappeared amid the stampede tragedy in Northern Israel that killed Knoblowitz and 44 others at historic Mount Meron on Friday.
Now Rozmarin is facing the future without him.
“They planned so much for life,” Rozmarin’s brother, who declined to give his name, told The Washington Post. “They just wanted to build a nice little home. And everything is gone in two seconds. I just can’t describe the pain.”
