HoRav Dovid, Shlit”a, I know you don’t need my validation, but thanks for an on-target, and appropriately timed beginnings of a response to this terrible tragedy. I think you speak to the hearts of all of us, whether or not we still have young children at home. You intuitively recognized what we are all feeling, and by putting the “why” to it, you validated them for all of us. Thank you!
