When you go to a shiva house, you learn all types of things about the deceased person – the biggest thing you learn is that you never really knew the individual or the greatness that was within him. That's why King Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes that it's better to go to visit a shiva house than a nightclub. The difference is that in a nightclub, all you see is glitter, makeup and outer dimensions. In the house of a mourner, there's no glitter and outer dimensions, only inner dimensions. Today's podcast is a tribute to the 45 holy victims of the Meron tragedy last week on Lag B'Omer.

This 18-minute video podcast is all about the Meron Tragedy, one of Israel's worst civilian disasters ever, where 44 have been killed and many others still fighting for their lives.

If you've ever lost a loved one, nothing could console and comfort you more than the Thirteenth Principle of Emuna, which we learn today on Emuna Hour (40-minute lesson).
