Grave Fresstivals



        

The חכמת אדם writes that when women or the עמי הארץ visit the קברי צדיקים and “pour out their hearts” by addressing their words directly to the צדיק, they risk transgressing the prohibition of דורש אל המתים.

Some גדולים even attempted to prohibit the entire practice of davening at קברי צדיקים, though their efforts were not ultimately accepted.

One can easily imagine how those same גדולים would view today's large‑scale “grave fresstivals”, where  gourmet meals for the hungry Yidden  are part of the celebration and hundreds of millions of dollars are spent, funds that could arguably be directed toward far more meaningful causes

The Satmar Rebbe R. Yoilish Zt"l writes, "based on this week's Zohar (אחרי )  going to קברי צדיקים is only for those who know and understand the secret of connecting

For those who do not understand it, there is no point to go and it is a סכנה גדולה to go there."

ה' אייר - אתחלתא דגאולה


-
 ה' אייר & מאה שערים -אתחלתא דגאולה

 

It was only with the arrival of the תלמידי הבעש״ט and the תלמידי הגר״א
that there began, for the first time, a real Kibbutz of Ashkenazi Yidden
in Eretz Yisroel.

Until then, there were only a few scattered Ashkenazim in the Holy Land;
the entire ציבור was almost exclusively Sephardi.

The Sephardim felt threatened and uneasy when the Ashkenazim began
arriving in larger numbers. They were upset that the newcomers refused
to accept Minhag Eretz Yisroel and the בית יוסף as the מרא דארעא דישראל
The Ashkenazim, however, continued to follow the רמ"א and held fast to
their own מנהגים, as they had for generations.

As the Ashkenazi presence grew, so did the friction between the two קהילות.

The Sephardim controlled all the communal institutions—צדקות, שחיטה,
מקואות, חברה קדישא
, and more. This placed the Ashkenazim in a very
difficult מצב, leaving them dependent on the Sephardi leadership and
suffering greatly because of it.

The Chasam Sofer himself writes in his תשובות how one of his talmidim
described the suffering the Ashkenazim endured under Sephardi
authority.

 

It was Rav Meir Auerbach zt״l (1815–1878), מחבר of אמרי בינה and
the רב הראשי of the Ashkenazim, who finally said that the situation could
no longer continue. He established a separate Ashkenazi קהילה.

His first major accomplishment—won only after great struggle—was to
secure an independent Ashkenazi שחיטה.

He also succeeded in taking control of the funds from חוץ לארץ,
sending out their own (שד״ר (משולחים so that the Ashkenazi קהילה
would no longer be financially dependent on the Sephardim.

Rav Meir was נפטר at only 62, before he could complete the separation.
The חברה קדישא still remained in Sephardi hands.

His successor, Rav Shmuel Salant zt״l, completed what Rav Meir had
begun. He established an Ashkenazi חברה קדישא, and with that,
the separation between the kehillos became total.

Among the Ashkenazim, this was remembered as an אתחלתא דגאולה
a beginning of redemption—initiated by Rav Meir Auerbach and brought
to completion by Rav Shmuel Salant. It marked the moment when the
Ashkenazi community was finally independent and no longer reliant
on the Sephardi establishment.

 

Rav Meir Auerbach was among the founders of Meah Shearim and the
Bikur Cholim Hospital.

Meah Shearim was one of the very first neighborhoods built outside the
walls of the Old City.

His yahrzeit is on ה׳ אייר.

Thus, the  connection between Meah Shearim, ה׳ אייר, and the sense
of אתחלתא דגאולה.
