I am often critical of the editors and moderators of this site, especially on the (thankfully rare) occasion that my own comments are censored so let me take this occasion to thank them. On certain other blogs, one would expect this post to attract at least a dozen comments making fun of the concept R Grossman expressed, and even calling it ch”v a Xian concept, from amhoratzim who not only never learnt gemoro but never even learnt Chumash with Rashi. I assume that the lack of such comments here is due not only to the higher class of commenter this blog attracts, but also to the moderators’ work. So thank you.

Don’t even dare suggest that anyone should not wear a seatbelt because it won’t matter. Your drivel about hashgacha paratis makes no sense when it comes to the most fundamental way of saving lives.

#3 There is nothing that is out of hashgacha pratis – ordinary or not. If it is His will to return holy neshamos to Him – seat belts are no impediment to His will! No more than suddenly failing brakes! And if it is His will that a someone remains unscathed – a missing seat belt – does not compromise His will.

Please think carefully about this before you cliche befall me with Ushmartem es nafshosaichem. I too know statistics and putting yourself in sakanah etc.

Hashem should watch over all His children.

Although this yasom was saved by not wearing a seatbelt, this is totally out of the ordinary. A mentsch tracht und Gut lacht. Always wear your seatbelt, and don’t drive if your kids are not wearing theirs.

What can one say.
Such tragedies are overwhelming and incomprehensible.
We must be mitchazaik in our emunah.
Chevlai Mashiach.
May HaSh-m be menachaim the surviving daughter.
