The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yoel Gold’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

But there was one story that hit Am Yisrael like a ton of bricks, and that Yisrael like a ton of bricks, and that was of course the story of Dr. Applebaum and his daughter Nava.

And what makes it all the more tragic is that in that cafe was a father and a daughter, Dr. David and Nava Applebaum. While they sat at a cafe, a father daughter talked the night before the a bomber tore apart the restaurant. They both They both died. both They both died. The wedding gown that she was supposed to wear the next night was made into a paroches.

And when he heard the news, like the rest of Am Yisrael, he was devastated. He was so broken. He was shattered. It was such a painful thing to stomach. It was just a It was unbearable. And I remember the night after it happened,
