It's about "makom," which could be "place." Considering that most Jews worship the kotel, which isn't really "haMakom," I wonder if the "mail is transferred."Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-40284357730934351072012-07-29T18:09:29.874+03:002012-07-29T18:09:29.874+03:00The traditional consolation offered to Jewish mour...The traditional consolation offered to Jewish mourners translates as, "<i>May the Ineffable* comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and may your sorrows not be added to.</i>" The real cause of all our sorrows stems from a lack of a Holy Temple to restore our spiritual balance.
