After a large number of recent sudden deaths of infants in the chareidi sector in Eretz Yisroel, several individuals visited the home of Rav Chaim Kanievsky to ask him about this tragic phenomenon. “Why has this been happening and in what are can we strengthen ourselves in order to prevent such tragedies in the future?”

Rav Chaim responded, “We do not know why Hashem causes such things to happen, and we don’t possess any power except for our mouth, when we engage in prayer that no further tragedy occur in our communities.”

Rav Chaim quoted the Gemara in Maseches Shabbos (32a) which states that before a person is sick, “his tefillah is accepted On High more than when it is prayed once one is already ill, at which time more merits are needed [for salvation].”
