My readers have told me that I "think out of the box," but I don't necessarily agree, I think that all I do is write what is common sense. Today we live in times that if you have "common sense" then you are "thinking out of the box."
Be that as it may, I do have a strong opinion that I haven't heard yet heard from anyone, about why the Ribono Shel Oilom allowed this great tragedy, Oct 7, to happen.
I don't pretend to know as no one really knows but I do have a theory which I believe is 100% correct.
There were some speakers who actually said that the reason Hashem sent Hamas to murder the 250 party goers was because they displayed a Budda at the event. This notion is of course absurd and a perverted way of thinking on many levels. First of all Hamas had planned this for years and wanted to do it on the anniversary of the Yom Kippur war. Second of all, one could argue and question why 45 people were murdered in Meron, what Budda were they worshipping? These party goers were murdered "Al Kiddush Hashem" no one would argue that, anyone who does, doesn't know the fundamental halachos of Kiddush Hashem as brought down by the Rambam.
One could argue and question, however, and this may be blasphemy, whether the 45 people murdered by other Jews in Meron, were killed "Al Kiddush Hashem." There were many Gedoilim such as Rav Zilberstein Shlitah who rushed to pasken that they indeed died "Al Kiddush Hashem," but many Gedoilim were very quite about this because they didn't want the family to feel as if their loved ones died in vain, chas veshalom.!
Others postulate, that Hashem did this because there was a great divide in Israel, and because of this lack of "achdus" Hashem allowed this to happen. And others point out that this occurred in the south where the kibbutzim were made up by a bunch of leftists (more on this idea soon)
Having said all this, here goes.
We all know that the Ribbono Shel Oilom is obsessed with Eretz Yisrael!
No one disagrees with this notion. In fact the very first Rashi in Bereishis, touches upon this idea.
Hashem took us out of Mitzrayim to lead us into the Promised Land. and the majority of the 613 mitzvois can only be done in Israel.
One cannot get away from Hashem's obsession with Israel, it is in bentching, in "al hamechye" in Shemone Esra, and even in the 7 types of food attributed to Israel. The entire Torah from Shmos until the end of Tanach discusses Eretz Yisrael!
It is of course true that the Ribono Shel Oilom chased us out of Eretz Yisrael twice for different reasons, but Hashem wants us back!
He wants us to at least think of coming back!
Even according to the Divrei Yoel who harps on the three oaths, he agrees that it doesn't apply to individuals, in other words, every individual Jew must make Aliyah.!
Jews first settled comfortable in Bavel and refused to leave to make Aliya to build the second Bais Ha'mikdash! And who were the ones who didn't want to leave? The leaders of Klall Yisrael, they refused to leave! Yes the leaders, Ezra subsequently cursed them!
It is "kedai" to read the Yaavitz's introduction to his siddur, "sulam" where he states that the Spanish expulsion and the inquisition, and the crusades was a result of Jews being too comfortable in Chutz Le'aaretz, and not making any attempts to return to Eretz Yisrael. As an aside he also says the majority who converted to Christianity during the Inquisition, were not the "pashter Yidden" but the "gedoilim" the "talmedei chachamim;" the regular Jew gave up his life. Something to think about.
Then the Ribbono Shel Oilim sent another message to wake up and rattle the cages of everyone, the Murderous barbarian the Ukrainian Chelminetzky who slaughtered over 100,000 Jews in the most cruelest ways. This only made a very small dent in the thinking of the Galut Jew. After all, Ottoman Palestine was a deserted land full of disease and poverty.
In the late 1700's the Vilna Gaon and the Baal Shem Tov attempted to make Aliyah but it didn't work out, but their talmidim actually did make aliya, the Gra's talmidim went to Yerushalyim and the Talmeidei Baal Shem headed further North to Tzfas and Teverya, but it was a minority of a minority.
In the early 1900's since the frum Jews ignored all the signs and built up their communities in Chutz Le'aaretz, Hashem decided a different tactic to wake the Jews up and decided to go to the non-frum Jews and tested an assimilated Jew, an Hungarian journalist, who was a reporter at the infamous Dreifus Trial in France. Here is where this Jew named Binyamin Zev Herzl witnessed for the first time antisemitism when he heard mobs outside the court room yell "Kill the Jews."
He decided that this antisemitism was because they didn't have a flag, their own country.
So seeing no option for Jews having their own state, he decided the best thing to do was for Jews to convert and that would stop all this hate! He travelled to Rome and approached the Pope who thought that this was a great idea, but when he approached the Hungarian Rabbanim, they laughed him out of their homes and told him that Jews would rather die than convert.
I'm really summarizing and making it very simplistic, there is a lot more to the story, but because I want to get to my point, I am skipping major parts.
Herzl decided that it would be a good idea, since he saw that Jews would not convert, to have Jews move to their own country, and decided on Uganda,( Satmar and New Square later took this idea and made their "Ugandas" in New Square and Monroe.)
Palestine at this point was not on his radar. He brought up this "Satmar/Skverer" idea to the British who were occupying Uganda and they agreed.
Except there was one problem the Jews, wouldn't hear of this as they were yearning to return to their land, the Holy Land, the land that Hashem gifted to the Jewish people.
To make a long story short, Herzl decided to form the "Zionist" party with the goal for Jews to move back to their homeland and that he thought would end the hatred against the Jews.
Except for a handful of frum Rabbanim, like R' Alkelai, Kalisher etc, no frum person was interested, in fact the Gedoilim and the Rabbanim were totally against the idea of Aliya, and were adamantly against it! They yelled that "all the "Isems" like Communism, Zionism were against the Torah! They would wait until Moshiach comes, but Hashem had other plans and sent them Hitler & Eichmann Ym"s!
After Hitler ym"s you would think that the Jews got the message, Yes?
NOOOOOOOO!
Meanwhile the 'awful' Zionists fought for the land, and won, and built up a country לשם ולתפארת
It's true they didn't want anything to do with Yiddishkeit, but never the less Hashem had other plans and today the majority of the Jewish people live in Eretz Yisrael, and Israel has the most Torah learned there than anywhere in the entire world, despite the initial Zionist ideas.
So "bekitzer" Hashem had the Zionist build a beautiful country and who established a law called "The law of Return" that gives every Jew a right to live in Israel.
Hashem who I said is obsessed with Israel, wasn't happy as most Frum Chareidie Galut Jews had no plans to make Aliyah despite having a country with open borders for every Jew !
So Hashem sent Covid, and figured let's close the borders of Israel for a month, maybe just maybe that would give Chareidie Jews a jolt realizing "Hey the borders are closed" maybe there could come a time when the borders will be closed forever for some other reasons. But the Frum Chareidie Jews who always have answers why things happen and bring Gemaaras and Midrashi, failed to see what was right in front of them. That Hashem wants ALL Jews back!
They failed to see it because like the Babylonians and the European Jews prior and post WW2 don't want Israel! "it's a nice tourist place but not for me"
So Hashem pondered what to do next to wake up world Jewry.
He decided that if he would do anything drastic in any country in Chutz Leaaretz, the majority of the Jews would not make a connection and ignore the message.
So he tried one last thing in Chutz Le'aaretz, why not bring Putin, let him invade Ukraine and maybe the Jews will see it's not safe and then maybe they will get the message that Israel, Zionist or Not Zionist Israel is the place for Jews.
So this actually worked, it worked so good that even Ukrainian Goyim made Aliyah! But after a couple of months the Jews and the goyim of Ukraine left Israel to go back to the Jewish blood soaked cursed earth of Ukraine, but not before they took all the benefits that the naive Israelis gave them.
Hashem was frustrated as even the assimilated Ukrainian Jews wanted to go back to their war torn country..."a bee it's chutz Leaaretz"
Hashem decided he couldn't wait any longer and decided to have Hamas invade the South where the leftists live!
I spoke to a soldier who lives on my block who came home for a short break who was once stationed at one of these kibbiutzim in the south. He told me that the people of these kibbutzim trusted the Arabs so much that they on principle would keep their gates open so that Arabs could come and go, and they even sent toys to the children of those Gaza workers who worked in the kibbutz. They would invite them to their Simchos. It was those very workers who betrayed them and gave Hamas all the info to be able to commit their atrocities at will. This soldier told me that last year when he was stationed just outside of this particular kibbutz, he wanted to use the bathroom in the kibbitz and they wouldn't allow him to use the bathroom because he was in an IDF uniform. He said it was ironic because when he once wanted to chap a minyan in a Meah Shearim shul he barely made it out alive. The leftist= Meah Shearim!
I divert, sorry.
So Hashem who is obsessed with Eretz Yisrael even under the Zionist flag , decided to shake up the entire world even the goyim.
He created a situation where the entire world is now "obsessed" with Israel! Every single country in the entire world is now "obsessed" with hatred for the Jewish people.
Jews are getting together in mass rallies to say tehillim ( albeit without an Israeli Flag that now is the symbol of a Jew). Jews are sending money, making tzizis and all Jews have woken up that the Goyim hate all of us! The LGBT community had a rally last week for Palestine, excluded all Jews even the "woke" ones from attending!
Will the Jews wake up now or are we going to come up with reasons like "oh Hashem did this to the left, Oh Hashem did this to strengthen Shabbos" "oh this is because there was no achdus" Oh this was because of the Budda"
How about? ,,,,,,, Hashem wants you all back home since your goyishe hosts want you the hell out! How about that???????????

mirskym
I live in Israel and my children served in the IDF
Your theory is close but in my opinion you missed the main point.
It's not so much about the land as it is about Hashem.
Hashem wants all Jews to recognize that HE and HE alone is their salvation. He gives us the IDF which is of course great but time after time again they fail. WHY? Not because they are incompetent; they are not. It is because HE wants EVERYONE to recognize that he is the only cause. And until then HE pounds it in to us time and again. HE is the salvation. NO ONE ELSE. NOT the US and NOT the IDF. Hashem Hu Ha'elokim
Leftist = mean shearim. This is known as the horseshoe theory.
I have one problem with your theory, if that's the case that HASHEM was angry with the Jews who were still in GALUS and didn't want to come home, so why punish the Jews in Israel, why not a pogrom in CHUTZ LAARETZ?.
Well let me tell you my theory on why this happened, and first let's NOT blame HASHEM for this mini-holocaust. THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HAKODOSH BARUCH HU.
And before you start screaming at me APIKOROIS SHAIGETZ, please hear me out.
If someone decided to bring into his home a dozen poisonous man-eating killer snakes and lets them roam freely, and wakes up one morning to find his family devoured, who would you blame the snake or that demented meshugener who brought them in?, of course we all know the answer.
It is that guy who is the murderer, because when killer snakes roam your house it will result in death, and no amount of saying TEHILIM or praying or learning or doing extra MITZVO'S would have saved that unfortunate family,
and no one would ask that silly question, why did HASHEM let this happen? well it happened because this meshugener used his BECHIRA (free choice) and decided to commit suicide.
Israel is the only country in the world that has roaming freely in it's mids almost three million poisonous murderous Jew-hating two-legged snakes, who are ready to do exactly what Hamas did on Oct7.
As long as Muslim Arabs are roaming the streets of Israel Jewish blood will be flowing, and no amount of TEHILIM praying or MITZVOHS will save us, because what Israel is doing to itself is NATIONAL SUICIDE, just like if someone jumping off the empire state building, praying wouldn't save him.
THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLUTION "THEY ALL MUST GO"
Israel the last 30 years or so has become the most dangerous place for Jews in the whole world, thousands of civilians men women and children have been butchered and blown to smithereens on buses on the streets in their homes and even in their SHULL'S,and that's even before Oct 7.
As long as Arabs will freely roam the streets of Israel Jewish blood will flow, it's either we forcibly remove them or we slowly die.
Now they are around 20% of the total population, in around 20 years it is estimated they will be almost 35% and that will bring about an inevitable bloody civil war.
And please don't come with silly arguments that it cannot be done.
Yes it could, do you know after world war two how many Germans were forcibly removed from countries who bordered Germany, over twenty million,
when they partitioned India and Pakistan over 40 million Muslims where forcibly removed from their homes.
Now in Ukraine over 8 million refugees were forced to leave, and no one says a word.
The bottom line is, the one and only solution EACH AND EVERY MUSLIM MUST GO
Watch this clip(from 1982) of rabbi Meir Kahane, where he predicted this oct7 mini holocaust if we don't kick them out.

Hi
Cute. You should compete with R Yitzchok Zilbershtein.
False.par though.
We have & still have a beautiful bigger destiny. Our ancestors sacrificed for generations for it. They could have somehow finagled for themselves some colony if that all there is to it.
Many manhigim supported proto zionism until they were forced to conclude that it was paradoxical.Zionism was a Johnny come lately choosing to drive us on a different trajectory
So Hashem is convincing Jews to move to Israel by creating the greatest loss of life there and making living there extremely dangerous. Very logical. Amazing how Zionism warps your mind.
nu nu
frum but normal..
My post addresses why Hashem didn't do this Chutz Le'aaretz, because if He did, people around the world would say, "well this is an isolated incident" by doing this "dafka" in Israel, all the goyim crawled out of their caves and showedd openly their hate against the Jews, this wouldn't have happened if it happened in any other country. That's exactly my point!
To Yosef "the Jew hater"
Your argument is out of the exact words of the meraglim.
frum but normal
you have your head in the sand. The Muslim "snakes" are all over Europe. There are more Muslims in France than in the entire Israel, there are more Muslims in England than in the entire Israel. The "snakes" are already in the USA, Brooklyn is infested with them, and so are major US cities. Your premise that Israel allowed the "snakes there is correct, but covers up the real dangerous problem, those "snakes" have already invaded the entire Europe and they are infested with this poison.
Frum but Normal
You missed the entire point of DIN, the entire point was why it was "DAVKA" in Israel, because anywhere else this "obsession" against the Jews would never have come out in the open!
You could only imagine if any chareidi rabbi would rant like this, knowing exactly why this happened, what type of beating he would get on this site
@din Extremely unintelligent and shallow approach. Read some ramchals to get a glimpse of whats goin on in the galus. You have an extremely shallow approach. Its not about "the territory of israel" - its about our relationship with Him. Your whole analysis/approach is very shallow and unintelligent. Im sorry - im just being honest with you.
Aaron 5:25
Surprised that you brought down the Ramchal who wouldn't be accepted today at all, as he claimed that he was Moshiach (see Kisvei Ramchal). In addition he shaved (not in the classical way but used a powder) Even in his own time he was put in cheirim by the then "Chareidim". They did not accept his views and found them to be heretical. It was actually the Gra that took him out of the mothballs as the Gra said that he learns Mesilas Yesharim before he goes out on the streets of Vilna!
And its actually yes about the "territory" see parshas Lech Lecha, the only way to Hashem is thru His Land ... you can call my premise "shallow and unintelligent," but this "shallow and unintelligent" view is the 100% truth.
@din @gedalia leibowitz. Foolish beyond foolish both of you. He never claimed he was mashiach and hes accepted by EVEYONE now. It was only than right after shabsai tzvi that they fought against him. Read some daas tevunos and it'll knock some sense into you guys. Of course we want EY and of course Hashem is obssesed with EY and of course the land of EY is beyond holy - its Hashems chosen land - no one argues on that. But the avoidah now in the galus is not about "yishuv EY" - Its way way deeper than that. Its about revealing Hashems Oneness - torah and mitzvos from amidst the greatest darkness - forging a deep relationship (oneness) with Hashem specifically from deep in the darkness/hiddeness. Drink some ayahasca and you'll tap in to the truth. Its all about Hashems Oneness. Your approach of "yishuv EY" - That being the avoidah is extremely extremely shallow. All the best
