Why is that no one has written anything about the horrific occurrences in the last few days? I’m not talking about those individuals who think they know the reasons…I’m looking for those who have chizuck to share with us.
Maybe we need to get through the shock and denial first. It’s only been two days since we lost a beautiful couple and only a day since we lost the ray of hope that their baby would survive. We know everything is min Shamayim but it’s heartbreaking to even think about what happened and the pain the family must be feeling.
You have a question?
It’s a valid question. And as wanderingchana wrote, sometimes we need to go through the stages of ????? ????, to stand back in humbled awe, stunned shock and grief, to contemplate the tragedy that befell all of Klal Yisroel (we’re all in this, together). Then there needs to be a time for each and every person saddened by this great calamity to better himself/herself in an area that requires ????, ammending, whether bein adam lamakom or bein adam l’chavero. Each person for himself, what he needs to fix. It’s when some come and tell you for this reason, for that reason, that is problematic (unless by one divinely inspired).
So yes, every one should definitely take on kabalos, privately, after witnessing such a great heartbreaking tragedy.
Sometimes there just isn’t anything to say…
Because what’s to discuss? A terrible tragedy happened. If someone wants to start a Mishnayos initiative for the Niftarim, then gezunteh heit!
All tragedies are terrible. We especially feel pain and anguish and grieve for two young people whose families lost their children AND grandchild in a terrible, awful, horrific moment.
What do I take from this? That I need to hold my husband, children and grandchildren close to me, and never ever waste a moment or take for granted all that is good in my life from Hashem. It can be gone chas v’sholom in one terrifying, careless moment. Lo aleinu.
For those who wish to look at this tragedy as a lesson to be more tzniusdig,to speak no loshon hara, do more chessed, whatever one chooses, those are all fine and worthy objectives. Right now, I just want to hug my baby grandson (and my other aineklach), thankful that I get to watch him every morning, and wish that the baby who was torn from his mother and father, even as they were torn from him, also was still alive and well and able to be held by his Bubbies and Zaydies, as well as his parents. This is really too painful to bear.
a mamin- i think sadly its just become “so common” we hear and we cry for them and try to fele the pain that our fellow brothers have. But in reality the world is growing and so is the Jewish population, and unfortuantly that means more tzaros,we barely have enought time to get over the last tragedy when teh new one occurs,its horrible what happend and terribely sad and i wish only comfort to the family
I have an answer?
A mamin,funny I was thinking the same thing. I have a strong hunch there might be a reason.

It was all over the news site of YWN Im not sure what you want exactly? Everyone was talking about it everywhere a thread about it would be redundant.
For myself it’s because I’m so sad about it that I don’t yet know what to say. All I can think is what a beautiful family was lost. Not living in New York I can’t pretend to know all the facts of why the murderer was allowed to be driving, etc., and beyond being immensely hurt I don’t know what else to say.
Why don’t you go ahead and tell us your suspicions and your hunches instead of being passive aggressive. We can handle it, and you clearly need to get it out of your system.
squeak – i have a feeling his hunches are best kept stored up inside. somethings are better not said than said.
just a hunch.
but seriously, i don’t think there was any reason at all this issue wasn’t brought up in a thread. it was more the sense of shock and pain and trauma that numbed our yiddishe minds and souls. we were not ignoring the issue, we were dumbfounded and overwhelmed with grief. ther was nothing to say but cry.
may the families of this beautiful couple be comforted and should know of no more tzar.
A mamin, you clearly did not read the other topics. We had at least 2 topics about the tragedy, and several more tangentially related.
A mamin:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/tinok-ben-raizel
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/the-accidents
Both were posted AT LEAST 2 days before your first topic on this issue:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/so-hes-ready-to-turn-himself-in
There are also lots of comments on the YW main page with the news article!
Let’s be dan l’kaf zchus. Remember there are a lot of posts in other topics as well, and it’s easy to miss due to the high post volume lately.

Wow looks like someones going to have to eat their hat….
Yours is only long because you started an argument about how no one else cares about the tragedy except you.
