happiest,
You ask us Hashem’s plans why He took 3 neshamos back to Him.
I’ll speak for myself: Hashem hasn’t conferred with me the reason for His plans. And Hashem can call people back to give them the answer directly, but this is not the ideal either!
It’s back to Trust. We TRUST Hashem to do what is the best for us.
Two of the people who were niftar were 101 and 102 years old. Is it possible that Hashem wanted them to complete the whole year and therefore waited for them till a new year began?
You are NO apikorus for asking questions when you are trying to determine the answers. The idea is to keep going and trusting till you receive your answers or even when you don’t.
