Understanding the Death of Young People

This past week's parsha, Parshas Shemini, discussed the death of Aharon's two sons, Nadav and Avihu.

I am posting two links on the topic of "Why do good people die young?"
Especially in light of the terrible tragedy in Itamar - yes, we have so many questions and are seeking answers. They are long posts, but the time you spend reading them is time well spent.

Part 1 explains how Hashem is so much greater than us, so beyond our understanding that as much as we know, we cannot understand.

Part 2 discusses more in detail why good people die young and why to them, they do not view it as something bad but as something part of the bigger picture.

I hope you gain as much from these as I did when I read them.

  2. I'm glad you explained it that way...that we don't understand why things happen. I can accept that. Hashem does things, and we can't always understand why.
    I have a harder time accepting when people think they DO understand and they know the reasons.

  3. Yup, I know who you are :-) Thanks so much! B"h the inspiration is spreading...

    MW-Thanks. It's true that we can't always understand but that shouldn't stop us from asking!
