The names of the 3 killed in a car rollover that occurred early this morning (Wednesday) on Route 60 near the Givat Assaf intersection, Nachman Vazna, Meir Fischer and Matthiahu Bezanson were only 14-15 years old when they died.
Three other boys who were seriously and moderately injured in the accident were evacuated to Shaare Zedek and Hadassah Mount Scopus hospitals in Jerusalem.
Some of the boys who were killed and wounded are members of the Shuvo Benim community in Jerusalem.
The community was informed this morning of the death of three of the passengers, and called to pray for the safety of the injured.
The police opened an investigation to find out the circumstances of the accident, according to the suspicion, the driver of the vehicle was 15 years old and without a license.
According to sources in Shovu Benim, the six were on their way back from a visit to the graves of the righteous in Samaria.
In recent years, a phenomenon has developed of young men from the ultra-Orthodox sector, and in particular Hasidites in Breslav, who come to visit the graves of righteous people in the territories of Judea and Samaria, without coordination with the security forces.
Sometimes the young people make their way to the graves while driving wildly and even drive without a license or under the influence of alcohol.
"It was a serious accident, their vehicle flipped over in the air for a few seconds before they collided with the cliff," explained M., a member of the Shobo Benim community. Pay attention".
"A lot of boys go to Joseph's tomb, it's not a spiritual thing for them, but a matter of 'masculinity' and adrenaline."

L., like others, criticizes the phenomenon of the wild trips to the graves of the righteous, "There is no connection between the trip to Joseph's tomb in Nablus and the serious accident, they could just as well have gone to Miron or somewhere else," he insisted and added, "This is a group of young people from the dropout youth, people who allowed themselves to get on a car without a license. There is a large population of dropouts among communities of converts, for whom one of the biggest attractions is a trip to the tomb of the righteous Joseph. It is not a spiritual matter for them but a matter of 'masculinity' and adrenaline. They try to belong to Hasidism in Breslav, and justify their visits That's why Rabbi Berland encourages a visit to Yosef's tomb."
"The accident happened because of the hormones of young men who are trying to prove their masculinity, in crazy trips without a license and also in an entry that is not coordinated with the security forces to Yosef's tomb," he continued, "There were six of them in the car, all under the age of 18 and none of them had a license."
A., a former member of Shubo Benim claims that the law enforcement system is ignoring the treatment of the issue and the side effects it causes, "A soldier who serves in the Nablus area told me that these guys are constantly harassing, driving like crazy, endangering the lives of the soldiers and themselves, the army warns every Call the police and they just don't do anything about it. Everyone knows that 15 and 16 year olds go there without a license, and sometimes under the influence of alcohol and do nothing. Maybe they treat it as a prank, and of course the main culprit is their leader, the convicted sex offender Rabbi Berland So these children are poisoned and you can't talk to them."
