QUESTION:
The Rav said that if the generation doesn’t change, either it will have to end with the coming of Mashiach, or the generation will meet the same end as the Holocaust, chas v’shalom. Recently the Rav said that there is still a lot of room to suspect that it’s able to happen, chas v’shalom. In my humble opinion, this is the most frightening thing the Rav has ever said. With such a possibility, how am I supposed to have emunah and bitachon in Hashem and serve Hashem b’simchah (with joy) and have a settled mind when I learn? I am in a daze from these words because I feel the terror whenever I think about these words and I am unable to concentrate on anything whenever I’m thinking of it, and I think about it often. And it seems the generation is heading more and more towards this possibility of actual destruction, chas v’shalom, due to the generally abysmal state of our ruchniyus today. So am I asking a simple question: How is it possible for a person not to go crazy from thinking of such a possibility?? How can I not fall into despair over everything from this??
ANSWER:
Feel Hashem’s love for you, and trust in Him that everything He does is good.
