Question

From: “B’Hadrei Haredim:
The terrible tragedy that struck the Steyer family of Beit Shemesh, when the head of the family was taken from them—the young kollel scholar Rabbi Yisrael, of blessed memory, one of the glories of the Gur Hasidic community in the city and one of its outstanding Torah scholars, who passed away after the severe illness that had taken hold in his body—led the family members to ask why the blessing of the righteous men, who blessed the patient that he would recover, and their assurance that he would get well, were not fulfilled.
The one who answered this difficult question was the eminent Hasidic scholar Rabbi Yitzhak David Alter, son of the Rebbe, the author of Pnei Menachem of Gur, of saintly blessed memory, and head of the halakhic kollel of the Gur Hasidim in Bnei Brak, who in a five-point letter, published for the first time in B’Hadrei Haredim, explains the matter in a striking way that strengthens faith in the righteous and in the Creator of the world.
B’Hadrei brings his letter, which was sent to the family, and by a special instruction to his son Rabbi Yisrael Mordechai of Beit Shemesh, he writes that the page may be shown to anyone who needs it. And this is what Rabbi Yitzhak David writes:
“A. His Holiness the Beit Yisrael visited the sick Hasid Rabbi Leibel Weissboim, of blessed memory, about two weeks before his death, and said to him: I hereby promise you that you will still come to me on further trips. And when he left, he turned to R. B. Kornik, of blessed memory, and said to him: I know that he is about to pass away, but what won’t one do in order to strengthen a Jew.”
“And so too with my father and teacher, the Pnei Menachem, who said to a Jew over the phone on the eve of Shavuot: ‘Hold me to the words that I promised you—that you will merit to celebrate with your grandson.’ And when he finished the call he said to me: What won’t I do in order to strengthen him, even though I know that his days are numbered.”
“B. Every person’s end is to die, and according to doctors, many times he has no functioning left for more than a few months or days. Through the blessing of the righteous for a complete recovery, he merits additional length of days, and sometimes also merits to marry off his descendants, even though in the end he dies of that same illness.”
“C. Who was greater for us than Moses our teacher, peace be upon him, who prayed 515 prayers and it did not help? So too, the blessing of the righteous is akin to prayer: sometimes it helps completely, sometimes partially, and sometimes not even that.”
“D. There are times when this is in the category of the prophet Elisha’s statement, ‘And the Lord hid it from me,’ after the son of the Shunammite woman died and she came to him, and he asked her, ‘Is it well with the child?’ See Meshekh Chokhmah for what he wrote about this.”
“E. The blessing of a righteous man is akin to a blessing from the Holy One, blessed be He, and there is not always a vessel to receive it, and sometimes the merit of the recipient is still insufficient to receive the blessing.”
