Reply To: Why do you think the Hurricane Sandy came?

TLIK: The fact is that numerous tzadikim have given very specific reasons for tragedies, including the holocaust. The Gemorah often does the same. You say that only someone who possesses Ruach Hakodesh can do so. And very likely these tzadikim do posses that. But you then go on to say, contradicting that previous point, that mere mortals cannot make such cheshbonos. Yet these great tzadikim I refer to, while they posses Ruach Hakodesh, are indeed mere mortals! Perhaps you are speaking metaphorically in differentiating between those with R”HK and other “mere” mortals.
