The fate of the Gra
peace,
Regarding the fate of the Gra:
A. Do you believe in the “success” (or validity) of the Gra’s destiny? Does it really work? Didn’t it really work for Rabbi Aryeh Levin?
B1. If so, how do you explain this, especially in light of the fact that you conclude that “God has abandoned the earth”? If he intervened on a specific occasion – why would he intervene in a case like identifying the bodies of the fallen of God? (I mean, I would expect him to intervene in more “dramatic” cases than that)
B2. Do you think the use of this fate is permitted or prohibited because of “innocent will be” or another reason, and if so – why?
I don’t know. There’s some good evidence that it worked, although I’m suspicious in these contexts. But I haven’t looked into it in depth.
B1. Indeed, the very divine involvement involved in this leads to my reservations. Perhaps this mechanism does lead to involvement (not because of the great need, but because they did it with a beneficial mechanism, and/or with the righteous who did it. Assuming there is one).
B2. In my opinion, it is simply forbidden. The fates that are discussed in the law are fates that are not open to guesswork. For example, the fate of division between partners or heirs. Fate is not supposed to achieve anything (contrary to all sorts of theses that arise in these contexts), but to constitute an arbitrary decision-making mechanism.
