Other Notes:

[N2] An avrech אברך is a student – young-unmarried or usually-older and married – who studies in a yeshiva full- or substantially-full time. Married avrechim study in a separate hall from other yeshiva students known as a Kollel.
[N3-4] Literally 'stood at the threshold of the shadows of the righteous of the generation'.
[N4-5] Literally, as one would do with a flower, 'he was plucked in half his days'.
[N8] The month of Av is often termed Menachem-Av. Menachem [also used as a given name] means 'for consolation'. The Jerusalem Temple was destroyed on the 9th of Av; Menachem is symbolically added as a prefix – in the future, may this sad month no longer be associated with death but become one of consolation.
