The answer is sometimes No...

This morning we woke up to the unspeakable tragedy of Leiby Kletzky a"h. There are no words to adequately express the horror of the whole situation. His parents sent him off to camp expecting him to return hours later but   he didn't. Instead they are dealing with a horrific situation.
Last night I stayed downstairs until 10:45pm so I could call the Chazak Hotline to say Tehillim with the rest of K'lal Yisroel. It was unbelievable the kochos of the tehillim. I didn't hear who was the one leading the tehillim (if you know please tell me) but he said that Leiby a"h was doing something for K'lal Yisroel at that moment. He was bringing us all together in times when for the simplest things we resort to Lashon Hara, Sinas Chinam and Motzai Shem Ra. We were for that moment all united, all one family...like we should be at all times.
So what do we say to our children..to ourselves this morning when they ask "but we davened to Hashem...why didn't HE answer our tefillos?" It was something I was pondering this morning as I drove MN & YY to davening this morning.
Hashem does answer our tefillos...EVERY TIME WE ASK !!!! The answer is not the one we want, the one we ask for but it is still an answer. The answer is NO !!!
That is Bitachon...accepting that the answer is really the best one for us. Believing with true Bitachon that Hashem loves us and though we may not always like the answer it is an answer.

May the neshama of Yehuda "Leiby" Kletzsy have an aliyah. May Hashem comfort his parents and family. And may Moshiach come very soon.

This was written on an email I get called Divrei Chazak:

We can not understand Hashem's way but we are taught to come together as we did in looking for Leiby A"H and to grow spiritually closer to Hashem from this. May it be an aliyah to the neshama for the kiddush Hashem that was displayed throughout the last 48 hrs.
