An open letter to my bretren in Brooklyn

Last night a little girl was struck and killed by a car in Boro Park. Her mother, 9 months pregnant, was struck as well and is hospitalized in serious condition.

Why should this story be any less tragic, sensational, heartbreaking or shocking to Klal Yisrael than the terrorist attacks in Israel?

Do we not believe everything that happens is from Hashem?

Is everything that happens not a message to us from Him?

Why does the sensationalism of an ideological war and drama of an armed enemy indicate any added severity?

The searing gut wrenching pain experienced by the families are the same.

The unnatural cutting down of our precious tzon koddoshim is equally horrific.

Do we consider our brethren in Israel on the front lines or state of war that makes their sacrifices more cosmically weighty?

How can we as a united family of bnei yisrael not come together to beg hashem to put an end to the suffering?

How can there not be an outpouring of love and support to the family?

How can we all not cry bitterly at the harsh reality that is shechinta bigalusa? The devastating, aching pain when our Father hides His true goodness.

How overwhelming does the message have to be to finally cause our senses to relinquish our attachment to the illusions of this world, and with a harsh awakening to reality, scream from the depths of our being, AD MOSAI!
