On the eve of Lag Ba’omer, Rav Nachman Elchadad, father of the two brothers who tragically lost their lives in the Meron disaster of 5781, ascended to the beis hachaim in Meron to visit their kevorim.
The emotional visit marked four years since the passing of Moshe Mordechai and Yosef Dovid Elchadad, who were among the 45 victims of the terrible calamity that occurred during the hilula of Rashbi.
Family members joined Rav Elchadad at the bais hachaim, offering tefillos and remembering the beloved boys amid the atmosphere of mourning mixed with kedusha that envelops Meron each Lag Ba’omer since.
The gravestones of the two brothers bear identical inscriptions, a chilling reminder of their shared fate. The text reads: “Here lies the body of Moshe Mordechai, son of Elisheva shetichyeh, of the Elchadad family, who passed away during the hilula of Rav Shimon bar Yochai, zya”a, opposite the entrance of the cave, at the stroke of midnight, the night of the 18th of Iyar, Lag Ba’omer 5781.”
