The rebbe said that everything that happens in the shchuna of nesi doreinu is mirrored around the world.

don't blame everything on NY
May 26, 2009 2:15 am

Why whatever happens anywhere in the world is NY blamed? B”H in NY there are a lot of people doing a lot of very good things!!!!!! Of course we can’t question the aibishters ways even though we might not understand or even though it’s difficult to accept. Maybe if something happened in Toronto then the community there should see what their problems are and try to fix them!

It was the summer of 5747, Shabbes 14 Tamuz. The Rebbe mentioned that Shabbes concerning the 3 simanim of the accident on Friday of the young Chitrik bochur A”H, the sudden thunder & lightning & strong showers in the middle of the summer, and a Psul in the Sefer Tora that morning in 770 shul. The rebbe connected all these to the Machlokes that was then going on. I wasn’t even there that Shabbes ( I was on Merkos shlichus in an island in the Pacific ocean that Shabbes), but the most peculiar thing that happened that same weekend was… Read more »

i dont know where you picked that up,heres a quote from the sicha (free translation:) “no one knows the reason for these things..” b we have to learn from aharon who was quiet [after his sons died]
“and the only thing we can do is scream ad mosai..”
so stop trying to play g-d…

Do more Mitzvos
May 25, 2009 3:25 pm

Honostly, since we are not the rebbe, or Hashem, we should not give reasons why something so unfortunate had to happen! We just need to try to do more good deeds and daven for Moshiach! Ad Mosai!!!!

May 25, 2009 2:54 pm

it was in the summer in the 80s and there was a chitrick bachur in a severe car accident . that shabbos the rebbe was saying. (it was a long time ago and i was a teen ager but im almost sure the rebbe was RAISE HIS VOICE to say the least. also my place was far and if iwas able to hear clarely it was probably b/c the Rebbe raised his voice segnificantly.

The Rebbe was saying that the reason this terrible thing happened (he was still alive on shabbos in serious condition) was because of machloikes !!!

to 17, 18 and similar posters; inexplicable tragedy comes as part of nature. patterns of nature are as inexplicable as anomalies, you understand why someone lives? you understand why someone dies?

to present your explanation for this tragedy and to connect a child’s death to someone’s behaviour across the globe (or even across the street) is the height of stupid arrogance.

when you see yourself in the moirror do you see the eighth rebbe?

you keep to the human perspective and keep god’s perspective for god.

mourn the loss of life.

make sure YOU don’t particiapte in machlokes etc.

there is no reason and we dont know hashems ways, but the rebbe always said to do more good and to learn to have more achdus, maybe now all these people will see that their machlokos is doing nothing but harm and they will stop!
