anon1m0us: Regarding the 400 boys: you could suggest what you wrote, except that you’d be wrong because not a single one of those boys graduated college that winter/that summer, they weren’t even enrolled in a college……..
anon1m0us: If hashem wants a peson to die at 34 can you do anything to change that??? So why have a organization like Hatzlah??? Eiether Hashem wants them to do or he wants them to live. Why shold we butt in????
In a similar vein, do you believe that hashem wants 10% of this years graduating class of High School girls to never get married. Without working to close the age gap that is where we are headed, much like without hatzalah many people would die and w/o RCCS many sick patients would Rachaman litzlan not recover and the list goes on and on. Bitachon and Emunah are critical, but not in place of taking reasobable steps to assist others in difficulty situatons.
Pac: why don’t you be that someone.
FYI- NASI has been there and done that (with a similar survey) and that was a major breakthough in getting community leaders to realize the seriouslness of the situation.
