Ubiquitin of course he should be. And I was happy as well. But it’s very different than heart felt gratitude. For awhile whenever I experienced a miracle a cynical voice in my head would say why be overly grateful when He put you in that situation to begin with? And then I’d respond that the hard situation was really a chessed because of aveiros I did in this gilgul or others, and then the voice again “Yeah but He didn’t have to create you this way with a yetzer hara and all… So that’s also His fault.”
So it was hard for me to wholeheartedly be grateful for miracles. And knowing the Rubashkins, when I would think about sholom mordechai sitting in jail I would get so upset because let’s say he did get out of jail in a miraculous way. He still sat there away from his family for x years. Why is that fair when they’re such good people?
You get me ubiquitin? I’m finally able to fully appreciate miracles but I wanted to share why its a chiddush for me, and hear if it’s a chiddush bichlal or for others they knew the idea all along…
