- Rav Yitzchok Zilberstein shlita responded to a question asked if the current wave of terror in EY is from a lack of protection following the petirah of Reb Chaim Kanievsky zatzal. He said that HKBH protects klal yisrael and Reb Chaim in shamayim is still protecting klal yisrael גדולים צדיקים במיתתם יותר בחייהם and his promise for Bnei brak is still intact that there won't be attacks. However the shooting took place in an area where chilul shabbos takes place as cars and buses drive there on shabbos. Shabbos is a ahemirah and Rav Chaims havtacha can not take place where there is no shemira from shabbos.

ReplyDeleteThe einom yehudim dont know this and it can cause tzaros for the klal uprat
DeleteHow about Teireh Umeseireh raise money for struggling parents who cant pay tuition. After all the photo ops and big announcements tuition keeps going up and the parents are the ones who carry this burden so why the need for Torah mesorah what are they doing to help tuition
ReplyDeleteErev Rosh Chodesh Nisan is not Rebbe Nachmans Yahrtzeit which is 18 Tishrei.
ReplyDeleteOne may mix it up with his Yom Holedes which was Rosh Chodesh Nisan.
The minhag to travel there for Erev Rosh Chodesh Nisan is an old one though.
How does anyone know what happens in shamayim? We are an עם חכם ונבון and we should know better than to believe these אמונותו טפלות.
ReplyDeleteI think Rav Zilberstein's message was crucial because of the reaction many ppl had that our zechuyos have been decreased with Rav Chaim's passing. It's important for every member of the klal to see himself as a torchbearer and maximize his zechyos for himself as well as the tzibbur. And there is a concept of a niftar intervening for his loved ones. So the message is timely and cimfirting.
DeleteYou don't use אמונות טפלות to achieve anything.
DeleteYes, our zechuyos had been lessened, and no, it doesn't mean Klal Yisroel is over. We still have a Torah to keep, nothing changed.
People need to stop depending their Yiddishket on a person, group identity, or external sign. We have a Torah and we keep it, that's all.
The minhag to travel.....old one. A bunch of bologna!! The only minhag was to be their on Erev Rosh Hashanah period. Everything else was made up!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't know something does not mean it's made up.
DeleteEither way everything is made up doesn't make it not a Minhag a hundred years down the line.
The question may be win started it. Well Rosh Chodesh is definitely a new thing. But Erev is not.
Thank you.
Is it possible to post a link to a recording of Rav Elya Chaim Swerdloff Shlita's hesped?
