I guess to advise others about how to react when many of us don’t know how we should respond. some rabbis said hurricane sandy was for sins. Others said sandy hook the kids are at peace with Hashem. the good rabbi is articulating beautifully the Rebbe’s view on how to respond to such situations. Listen and learn.

Religious believers don’t need to whitewash this tragedy with spiritual tears or look to justify G-d’s actions as it were. We need to cry, insist, demand of G-d to simply keep to the promise He made in Jeremiah (31:14): “A voice is heard on high, wailing, bitter weeping…for her children, for they are gone. Thus said G-d: Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears …There is hope for your future…and your children will yet return home.”

So if its best ” not to talk ” why this talk???
