In the shadow of ongoing Palestinian terror attacks and following the most recent tragedy, the fatal Egged 402 bus crash that claimed six lives R”L, the Sanzer Rebbe Shlita has released a letter addressing the difficult period. In the letter he speaks of the threats posed to the tzibur by modern technology, warning of the “קליפה טמאה המקטרג בראש”, the kitrug that results from said technology. The letter was directed at everyone, but released for a Kinos in Elad held earlier in the week.
The rebbe explains how “blood have flown like water” as a result of the heinous murderers and there can be no doubt that the “klipa temei’a” is led by the “cursed tomei technology that infects heart and soul.” He speaks of the many tragedies that have befallen Klal Yisroel of late and the need to rid ourselves of this unclean technology.
The rebbe calls on the tzibur to unite against these threats, to cleanse the camp of unwanted gashmiyus, at this appropriate time, the Shovavim.

How does anyone know what causes a Kitrug??
If you ask 10 Rabbonim, what caused world war ll, you will get 10 different answers.
Nobody knows anything, Period.
Why did WWII happen?all of us would be reform today, don’t start telling me these stories my grandfather learnt in ponovetz yeshiva hes still a צדיק today. We would all be reform today it was just a matter of time Hashem had no choice but to do it. Before the 2 בתי מקדש were destroyed there were only 2 choices what to do (& one of them wasn’t to put a hunger in the land) either kill out all jews or destroy the בית המקדש that was the only makeup for the sins we did then, if Hashem destroyed all the jews then Israel is not full of uncleanliness anymore, if the בית המקדש is destroyed then the holiness left the land & the jews can live (either both holy=no jews or both uncleanliness=no בית המקדש) Hashem had to destroy it we were too low in spirits & couldn’t be with it anymore.
Please explain how the fact that I own an iPhone causes a Palestinian teenager to decide to pick up a knife and stab an innocent bystander at shar shchem or a bus driver to break the speed limit.
We are not God and therefore we can’t pretend to know why things happens. Unless you are a prophet you have no right to make claims saying you know why these tragedies are happening.
Dont be smarter!!
#2 it’s one thing for a tzaddik like the Sanzer Rebbe to give his opinion about the tzoros we face. Whether or not you agree with him, you can be sure that he’s speaking with the purest intentions. It’s quite another thing for an anonymous commentator on YWN to start making his own cheshbonos for everything that happens. Unless you’re on higher madreiga than the rest of us, which i doubt!
