Oy! Oy vay! Hashem have rachmonus!
The Chazon Ish promised that the merit of Torah would protect the city of Bnei Brak from incidents of terror. Since his passing in 1953, there have been a number of occasions, most notably during the Persian Gulf War, where Reb Chaim Kanievsky invoked the Chazon Ish’s promise to extend the protection that had blanketed the Torah city for decades. Rabbi Kanievsky published a letter on the front page of the Yated Ne’eman wherein he promised that “there is nothing to be afraid of ”because “there will be no bombs in Bnei Brak.”
Similar words were said by Hgray”l Steinman during the Gulf War, when not one scud missile landed in Bnei Brak.
During the life of the Chazon Ish, when a bomb fell next to Argaman, on the border of Bnei Brak, the Chozon Ish said, “Argaman is not Bnei Brak”. Harav Steinman answered: “The Chazon Ish was not joking, that’s what he felt, that if it was part of Bnei Brak, a bomb would not have fallen there!
“When Chazon Ish of blessed memory said that there will be no bombs in Bnei Brak…that will certainly happen today, too,” Rabbi Kanievsky wrote. “The words of righteous men are not necessarily abolished after their death,” he added, as a means of explaining that the Chazon Ish’s promise still holds true.
Hashem, tzaddikim promised! Multiple Tzaddikim were gozer! Hashem needs to be mekayem!
Not to be belittle this tragedy of jewish people being wounded or killed in anyway shape or from.
rather only to comment on the point mentioned in the previous comment about the Chazon Ish Tzatza”l Havtocha that a bomb will never fall in bnei brak, along the same lines as what he himself said about argaman not being part of bnei brak. technically even though the area in which the missile fell is called part of the municipality of bnei brak more accuratly the missile fell in pardes katz, being the only part of the city that is majority chilonim i would be surprised if in the days of the Chazon Ish was considered bnei brak.
Again in no way do i mean to say the death of a choloni is more acceptable or in any way less of a tzara chas veshalom a Yid is a Yid and Hashem should show us all the Rachmanus he has on us in plain view and there should iyh no longer be hester ponim. we should iyh see moshiach tzidkenu bimeheyra!
