This is all very sad for klal yisroel and Hashem of course, here was a massive oivid Hashem and a person who did mitzvos all the time and now he’s gone no more its a big chalal for the amount of oivdei Hashem, and amount of mitzvos that were commited this should be our focus in our davening to Hashem to stop the tsuris already, there have been so many deaths of charedim in the last few weeks, which is extra troubling besides the jewish factor, reason being theres a chalal a hole of the amount of kvoid shamayim these people did for Hashem, and this should be focus when begging Hashem to stop the tsuris already, we should tell him its limanchu for your sake, we want more kidush Hashem.
This is the 4th death r”l in the last few days! The councler upstate, Yosef Robenson, the person who died during hip replacement, and now this! We do introspection/ teshuva!
As Hashem guided him, so let it be that Hashem guides us in extending our support to his family and loved ones.
