Yahrzeit of Hagaon Hachasid R. Yidel Donath. His wife
and all eight children H.Y.D.., murdered by the Nazis Yimach Shemom .
Reb Yidel Donath was the last Rosh Yeshiva of The Yeshiva Haramah
(Pressburg)
founded by the Chasam Sofer zt"l (Took over from
the Cheshev Sofer zt"l)
In Shulchan Aruch (O.Ch. 23)
" If a person enters a Bais Hakevores or within 4 Amos of a Meis,he
must hide his Tzitis" (Loeg Lerosh).
The Tzlach (Brachos 3a)
writes "Loeg Lerosh is applicable even at a woman or childs
Kever (didn't wear Tzitis while alive)
One Teretz:
By Ah
Mamme iz nisht doh Loeg Lerosh. The Mamme is not
jealous of her children.
The Minchas Elozors Teretz:
The
Shu”t Minchas Elozor (3-53) was asked, re Kever Rochel,
“They Daven
there every Erev Rosh Chodesh and also at other times. There
is even, an Aron Hakodesh and Sefer Torah.
For sure this
Minhag must have been established by Gedolei Ukedoshei
Yerushalayim. How can they do so, when it says in Shulchan
Aruch (Y.D. 367)
“You may not Daven within 4 Amos of the
Kever”.
The Minchas
Elozor zt"l has a lengthy Teshuva. Here are some of the
points he
discusses.
1)Loeg Lerosh
is not applicable on women.
2)Loeg Lerosh
is not applicable for the Avos kodem Matan Torah.
3)In Y.D.
344, You are allowed to say Divrei Torah in front of the Meis
If it is done
for his honour.
Kever Rochel
is a special place where Yakov Avinu buried her, so she
will plead
Rachamim for the Bnei Yisroel when they will go to Galus.
This same
spot is Mesugal for Tefilos Yisroel to be accepted. Therefore
It is considered in her honour and Loeg Lerosh is not applicable
