  WHY DOES THE EMS ALWAYS ASK STUPID QUESTIONS????
  all they need is the address and they should dispatch an ambulance immediately. If someone is bleeding to death, it isn’t important how it happened.

  Thank G-d for Hatzoloh. I’m making a donation today

  I understand your frustration but there is another way to look at it. On labor day i was involved in 2 shootouts. The second shootout on franklin ave the gunman was very far away from me and i was in no immediate danger. However, the first shootout, i was 20 feet away from the gunman, saw him, and ducked for my life under a car with 5 other people. I and my friend though we were going to die for sure. Any stray bullet from such a close away gun could have killed us or left us a vegetable. Although scared to death, we survived. instead of being angry, i thank gd for giving me another chance at life.

  its all about perspective – as hard as it is

  to #3, I think I would move if i was you.

• Haters complain, non haters love

  I would put down money its not a hate crime, or anti-antisemitism. sounds business related, executed to well for a random act.

• we all have the same question

  I am not worried about your emunah because you are directing your questions to Hashem because you know He is responsible. What sense can you make out of the rabbi in Israel who just didn’t stop st the checkpoint, nor see the flashlights waving him to stop. and was killed by the IDF.R”L You can just feel that Hashem is Boss. Just keep davening for yourself and everyone!! Scared yes, valid,
  me too.

  To everyone

  “Isaiah the prophet informed King Hezekiah that the latter had been sentenced by Heavenly edict to death. The king answered the prophet, ‘Ben Amotz – belay your prophecies and leave! I have a tradition from my great-grandfather King David that even if a sharp sword comes to rest on a person’s throat, he should not lose hope in Divine mercy.’ (see Gemorra, tracate Bercahot, 10a).” ~ The Garden of Emuna

  what does g-d have to do with any of it?
  Elie Wiesel who gripped the world’s imagination with his book “Night,” a personal testimony of life and death in Auschwitz, once asked the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who himself lost many members of his family in the Holocaust, how he could believe in G-d after Auschwitz. If G-d existed, Wiesel asked, posing the single greatest challenge to faith, how could He ignore 6 million of His children de-humanized and murdered in the cruelest of fashions?

  The Rebbe shed a tear and then replied, “In whom do you expect me to believe after Auschwitz? In man?”

• This is nots!!!!!!

  This is crazy!!!What they have nothing to do???

• brother from the hood

  b-d-e ad mosi? very sad

• THIS IS #2

  thank u for the response #3 and yess you are right is SHOULD strengthen my emunah but it doesn’t. I JUST BEGIN TO THINK..WHY WOULD HASHEM PUT YOU IN THAT POSITION IN THE FIRST PLACE? i mean it just drives me crazy and takes me in circles! when someone tells me “oh BH i was saved from an accident because I was doing this mitzva” i just think..WHY WOULD HASHEM CAUSE ANY ACCIDENT IN THE FIRST PLACE?? NOTHING COMES OUT OF IT!!!!!!
  UCHH I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO I FEEL LIKE I’M GETTING WEAKER BY THE WEEK (no pun intended….)
  AD MOSAI SERIOUSLY HASHEM IT’S NOT A JOKE!!!!!!!! FKDSAJKLFDSFLS;FKLSFJKLSKJ :(

• RACHMANUS

  Enough of this Golus! Hashem please have pity on your Holy Nation. Embrace us once again as a father embraces his child. Please bring Moshiach Now!!

• Aviya

  For the number 2

  You should read Rabbi Sholom Arush book called “the Garden of Emunah” this is very powerful book on Emunah – that no matter how challenging life is – you will be strong and even get closer to Hashem..see it for yourself.

• Ya znayu..

  5 is correct. Whenever there is a case like this regarding someone from the former Soviet Union, it always turns out to be a gang hit or a crime of passion.

• TRY TO UNDERSTAND #2

  TO NUMBER TWO. I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL, WE DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY AND HOW HASHEM ALLOWS SUCH THINGS TO HAPPEN, AND IT SAYS THAT WHEN MOSHIACH COMES WE WILL BE SHOWN THE REASONS AND WILL NOT ONLY UNDERSTAND BUT WILL SAY “ODCHO HASHEM KI ONAFTO BE” THANK YOU HASHEM FOR REVEALING THIS TO ME. BUT PERHAPS THIS LITTLE STORY MIGHT HELP YOU A LITTLE;
  THERE WAS A WOMAN IN ERETS YISROEL WHO WAS LATE ONE NIGHT IN GOING TO THE MIKVAH. BY THE TIME SHE GOT THERE THE MIKVEH ALREADY CLOSED. BUT THE MIKVEH LADY WAS STILL THERE. THE WOMAN ASKED IF SHE COULD PLEASE LET HER IN, BUT THE MIKVEH LADY ADAMENTLY REFUSED. NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE WOMAN BEGGED, AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT HER HUSBAND WILL NOT ACCEPT THE FACT THAT SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO GO, THE MIKVEH LADY REFUSED TO OPEN. THE POOR WOMAN WENT HOME DEJECTED, KNOWING THAT SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO KEEP THIS MITZVAH. YEARS LATER, THE MIKVEH LADY WAS WALKING IN THE STREET AND WAS ATTACKED BY A TEENAGE BOY AND ROBBED AND BEATEN. THE BOY WAS CAUGHT LATER AND BROUGHT TO COURT. ON THE DAY OF HIS TRAIL HIS MOTHER NATURALLY CAME WITH HIM. WHEN THE MIKVEH LADY, WHO WAS THE ONE PRESSING THE CHARGES ENTERED THE COURTROOM, THE BOYS MOTHER TOOK ONE LOOK AT HER AND PROMPTLY FAINTED. SHE RECOGNIZED THE MIKVEH LADY AS THE ONE WHO REFUSED TO LET HER GO TO THE MIKVEH THAT NIGHT SO MANY YEARS AGO, AND IN FACT THIS BOY WAS CONCIEVED THAT VERY NIGHT WITHOUT HER HAVING GONE TO THE MIKVEH.
  SO, WAS IT FAIR FOR THIS MIKVEH LADY TO BE BEATEN UP? BUT TO THE NAKED EYE, ALL WE SEE IS THIS POOR OLD LADY WALKING ON THE STREET AND GETS ATTACKED AND ROBBED AND BEATEN BY A HOODLUM…..

• this is #2 again

  to #15 THANK YOU for trying to help me but once again these stories just drive me crazier..WHY DOES HASHEM put anyone in those situations in the first place? I’m sorry but I just can’t see anything good coming out of any of these things that happen and even if it all will make sense later it is NOT FAIR FOR HASHEM TO MAKE SO MANY OF US SUFFER!!!!!!! Children, innocent people-IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! UCH IF MOSHIACH DOSEN’T COME VERY SOON I DON’T KNOW WHERE I WILL BE IN LIFE..i am SO FRUSTERATED WITH THIS PLACE AND THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN!!!!!!!

• to # 2

  there is nothing good(to our eyes at least)that is coming out of it
  its a sad and terrible thing
  AND WE WILL NOT UNDERSATAND WHY untill moshiach comes these terrible things happen
  i hate to break this to u but g.d already decided when.where. and how you are going to die freaking out wont change nothing so use and enjoy the time u have and pray that only good things should happend and if u still think this might happen to u then freak out when it does happen not before i mean how is it gonna help u freaking out before
