Why? – The Tragedy in Meron
Question
Dear Rabbi: Any words of wisdom on last week’s tragedy in Meron? I am having such a hard time processing it. Like, how could such a tragedy happen on the day when so many people stopped dying? The first thought that went through my mind was, "God, You gave us coronavirus and we weren't together all last year. This year, the rabbis who are Your messengers, said it's okay to be together, and this happens?" I just feel numb and I know the Jews are resilient people and we will make it through this, but I am having a hard time processing it now...
Thanks and Good Shabbos.
