As the news of the tragedy at Meron unfolded, many Rabbanim rushed to give chizuk and some even gave their reasons on why they think it happened. And I can see why they would be searching to come up with some reason that makes somewhat sense since it is beyond our understanding that 45 of our finest souls were killed in such a horrible fashion and by other Jews!
Our teenagers, our children are asking why this happened on such a holy place and on a holy day! Rabbanim are desperate to answer these theological questions to contain the inevitable fallout in religion that this will effect our precious youth.
I personally think that children should be told that this was a dangerous situation waiting for a tragedy to happen... this answers their questions very simply and it's something they can digest... (I was actually invited to give Dvar Torah on Parshas Emor in Beit Shemesh and that's what I said... parents couldn't stop thanking me) but of course we adults know that everything is from Hashem and therefore we as adults have to look deeper and ask... why after a year of Covid when many of our great people succumbed to this dreadful disease, Hashem took another 45 souls in one fell swoop.
The latest reason some Rabbis put forth was because women are wearing the "Lace Caps Shaitels..." They are not saying it outright, but reading their "Kol Korahs" you know exactly what they are hinting at.
Now I don't know what a "Lace Cap Shaitel" is and I don't believe I have ever seen one, but what I did notice was that the rabbanim that signed this latest prohibition are not in tune with the Jewish people or even their own communities. I know most of them.
What no one asked them is if it's true that Hashem is so upset with women wearing "Lace Cap Shaitels" then why did Hashem take 45 men? There were tens of thousands of women there, not one was even injured.
The truth is that no one really knows, but still, we try to read and digest all the reasons given by mekubalim and tzaddikim so that maybe we can make some sense of this horrible tragedy.
I found an interesting take on why this tragedy happened in an article widely distributed in the Dati Leumi circles and it was printed even in at least two Chareidie weekly publications in Israel written by an Israeli rabbi, Harav Yair Frenk the rabbi of Amona-Amechi.
I want to preface this by saying ...we don't really know.. but nevertheless Rabbi Frenk was bold and not afraid to write the following in Hebrew, which I will attempt to loosely translate paragraph by paragraph...I did this piece by piece so that you can digest this .... also read the Hebrew itself if you can ..it gives you a better insight to what he is trying to say and gives it the justice it deserves:
