Reply To: What can we learn from a tragedy like this?

a mamin – blame??? How on earth did you read blame into my comments? read them again. I’m specifically asking about lessons we can draw, not blame for what has happened. Blame is useless. Blame is for people who are more interested in pointing a finger than in solving a problem. Hakodosh Boruch Hu is the dayan and he will blame and judge. He doesn’t need me or you to do it for him. What he needs us to do is our own hishtadlus, and in this respect I come to your final comments. Yes, we are in the hands of the ribono shel olom. But in his gift of Torah he also gave us a clear instruction. Ein Somchin Al Hanes. If there is some tachlis that we can make happen it is our obligation to do so with the seichel and the means Hashem has given us.
