Now, on Motzei Shabbos, the Satmar Rebbe shlit"a held a meeting by telephone with the administration of our holy kehilla in the holy city of Yerushalayim, and listened with great pain to a firsthand report of the bitter tragedy.

The Rebbe shlit"a instructed the administration of our kehilla to designate Tuesday, 7 Adar, as a day of prayer and fasting, with weeping and eulogy, and that all men of our community in the holy city of Yerushalayim should fast, bochurim above bar mitzvah should fast half a day, and whoever cannot should redeem themselves with money as a pidyon nefesh. In addition, a proper levaya should be arranged for the damaged Sifrei Torah.

All the details of the levaya and the schedule of the day of weeping and eulogy will be published by the administration of our holy kehilla in the holy city of Yerushalayim.

At the same time, the devoted members of the administration in Eretz Yisroel are working together with the administration here in the United States so that the details and arrangements in the beis medrash and in the Talmud Torah will be put in order, and it is hoped that already tomorrow morning a proper schedule of tefillos and learning will begin in our holy kehilla and mosdos without disruption.

And all of the House of Israel shall bewail the burning that Hashem has kindled.
