In a rare handwritten letter, Rav Gershon Edelstein shlit”a implored Yidden to accept changes upon themselves in the wake of recent tragedies and terror attacks that have befallen individuals and families in Eretz Yisroel.
In the letter, the revered rosh yeshiva writes that the devastating earthquake in Turkey was a message to Am Yisrael to wake up, as Chazal state that all bad things that happen in the world are intended to be a message for Klal Yisroel.
Additionally, he writes that the murder of multiple yidden in recent terror attacks compels us to increase our zechusim and beseech Hashem for the injured.
“While we don’t know the cheshbon of Hashem, it is our duty to search our actions and correct them,” Rav Gershon writes. “Specifically, we must strengthen our middos in bein adam l’chaveiro and everyone should set aside time each day to learn mussar, even if it’s for just a few minutes.”

If not for earthquakes, Yidden in NY wouldn’t be able to go to the Catskills in the summer. Tectonic plates in the earth’s surface have been slipping against each other since maaseh breishis. Some regions are more prone to geological activity than others. Asia is especially vulnerable, always has been.
The best possible change I could possibly fathom, is mandating ben Gevir to finally implement the פסק of his revered & amazing mentor Moreinu HoRav Meir Kahana ZTKLLH’H HY’D and expell every Arab from 🇮🇱 without 1 iota more delay.
as the brisker ruv said “the medinah will only bring shfichas dumim (bloodshed) to yiden”
,since the world war 2 there was no place in the all globe that Jews has been killed like in this medina day after day ,even in Iran itself where they are killing and hanging people the Jews are not getting killed, they are not scared to go on the streets “ani matir es besarchem” hasem yrachem olainu
yes HJtE4, and all the anti-zionist ‘chareidim’ faired much better choosing to stay in europe during the 1940s…
