Communication with Binyamin
Jerusalem, 7 Adar 5776
(This message was given in the wake of the terrible #402 Bnei Brak to Jerusalem bus accident which took six lives on 6 Adar 5776.)
“…Oy, Hashem, what will be with Your people?…. How will we get through what’s going to be? How will we get through the news of yesterday that’s so hard – but it’s still small compared to what’s waiting for us…..”
Binyamin discusses the tragedy. He says the victims were all tzadikim and pure korbanot taken for the sins of the nation – that they were born for this. He says people don’t understand. They are in a deep sleep and need to wake up. Such korbanot are not enough. We still have to do teshuvah. Such tragedies have been going on for years and all over the Jewish world, not just in Israel.He says we like to pat ourselves on the back and brag about our chesed and how we keep all the mitzvot, but for the majority it’s not real Yiddishkeit, but rather something connected to the golden calf – a ‘kosher’ avodah zarah. He decries the emptiness of what is being bequeathed to the future generation. We’ve lost the rabbis who could lead us. The rabbis now, for the most part, tell people what they want to hear.
