my initial reaction to this post was “Oooh nooo, another poster having a freak attack, and screaming for all jews to do teshuva and to change. Very nice, now let me crawl back into my comfortable chair here and surf the net for something more interesting and entertaining”
….Wait a minute….Move over Yeitzer Hara!!
WIY- You are on the ball, and are SOOO completely correct!!! Although it is not Elul yet and the theme of teshuva is not even close to the front of my mind, there are very bold and clear messages from Above that the status quo is very not well. Last thing we need to hear is R”L of tragedies in the catskills or anywhere, from car accidents, to missing kids, to whatever. All us men must learn more torah now in the summer. We lost 3 Torah Giants. YIDDEN,We need protection. And nothing protects and sends yeshuos as the power of TORAH! There is not enough torah learning in the summer. I will B”N will try to increase my learning. May we hear only good news and yeshuos.
Thank you WIY for the vrtual wake up call.
