The Shechinoh in Exile: A Story from Meiron

I had the Zechus to spend Shabbos Parshas Pinchos 5756 in Meiron, at the Tzion of the great Tannoh Rabi Shimon Bar Yochoiy ZY”A. At the day Seudoh on Shabbos Kodesh, Hatzadik Reb Zalmen Brizel ZT”L spoke as follows. When The Ruhziner ZY”A was arrested by the czars army he said as follows; אָריִא אֹל תֶוָמְלַצ איֵגְבּ ˂ֵלֵא יִכּ םַגּ Though I walk through a valley of deepest darkness, I do not fear יִדָמִּע הָתַּא יִכּ עָר It is bad, that You The Shechinoh {Hashem} is also with me, that the Shechinoh is in Golus (exile), and is suffering my pains.
