It doesn't tell us to pray hard so people won't fall and it doesn't tell us that if a person falls it's because we didn't do the right kind of teshuvah. It says to take precautions to prevent accidents.<br />Your editorial should be about people installing smoke alarms and buying safe appliances in fulfillment of the Torah's command to build a ma'akeh instead.Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571194550300367249noreply@blogger.com
