WE DO NOT KNOW

As we prepare to mark the shloshim for the victims of the Egged 402 bus accident that claimed six lives, HaGaon HaRav Yitzchak Zilberstein, Rav of the Ramat Elchanan neighborhood of Bnei Brak speaks to the tzibur. The accident hit the chareidi tzibur particularly hard.

During a talk in beis medrash, Rav Zilberstein explained he has been approached by many people seeking an explanation that resulted in such tragedy for so many families.
Rabbi Zilberstein quotes the kuntres Rachmei HaRav from HaGaon HaRav Shmuel Halevy Wosner ZT”L, in which Rav Wosner writes women should not drive.
I THINK IT IS WRONG TO GIVE AN ANSWER WHEN PEOPLE ASK AN EXPLANATION
RABBI WOSNER JUST SAID IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR WOMEN TO DRIVE
NO GEDOLIM OR RABBONIM OF THE PRESENT CAN GIVE A REASON FOR THINGS THAT HAPPEN.
 AFTER THE HOLOCAUST NO GEDOLIM GAVE A REASON. THEY DID NOT KNOW
RABBI ZILBERSTEIN SHOULD JUST HAVE SAID I DO NOT KNOW.
RABBI YANKEL OF ANTWERP WAS ASKED BY A CHOSID THE LOTTERY NUMBERS
HE WAS A VERY HONEST MAN, HE JUST SAID TO THE CHOSID IF I KNOW THE NUMBERS I WILL DO IT MYSELF.
