It didnt take long for the haters to emerge

They were quiet for the first few days following the tragedy that took seven pure neshamos. But they could hold out no longer. The charedi apologists just couldn't control themselves anymore. Their total disregard to Gedolim and Rabbonim shown through. We were all recently witness to a historic video footage of the Chofetz chaim. It was the Chofetz Chaim who said that when there is a flood in China it is a lesson to klal yisrael. At a time when a tragedy hit so close to home it gives us a wake up call. Klal yisrael looks up to its leaders asking for guidance on how to improve themselves. No one knows the reason why it happened nor is anyone questioning it. Rav Chaim Kanievsky in his letter to Rabbi Sassoon said אין איתנו יודע על מה ועל מה עשה ה' לנו however Rav Chaim said it is because of our sins. The fire was not a coincidence and people look for guidance on areas that need improvement, when tragedy strikes. Gedolim alluded to the fact that it happened on Shabbos, that we be mechazek in shmiras shabbos and kavod shabbos. Others mentioned chizuk in kedusha and tznius. For some reason the bloggers and self haters dont want to face reality that Hashem is talking to us. Instead they are twisting the guidance of the gedolim as prophetic words on why it happened in order to attack and ridicule them. Despite their drivel,  klal yisrael was shown a lesson in Emunah by Rav Gavriel Sassoon, we are getting chizuk from him and in turn being mechazek ourselves which will be a iluy neshama for the pure neshamos.

  1. ולפי שהוציא עצמם מן הכלל, כפרו בעיקר.

    Any מאמין understands that we must take a message from this. אין ראמים באים אלא להסיר עקמימות שבלב. The Gemara in Shabbos assigns reasons for certain tragedies.

    The Horror and Moralless individuals are arrogant and believe they are so perfect that neither the ראם not the Gemarra's message apply to them.

    This is why we read about the רשע at the seder.

  2. I've had enough of this. These children died because they died. They did not die "because of our sins", sefer Iyov makes this rather clear that we cannot know nor conclusively take blame for tragedy. Individuals so stirred may seek improvement but it's insensitive and plain WRONG to insinuate these helpless children died b/c of US.

  3. We live among Erev Ravim - both men and women included. You see a lot of this Erev Ravot on a popular Jewish site just for married women.
