Does the rabbi have the feeling to pray following the crisis?

שו"תDoes the rabbi have the feeling to pray following the crisis?
שאל לפני 6 שנים

Hello Rabbi
 
Following the crisis. Although God is here in Israel, at least right now (March 30) we are in a relatively good situation. There are not many ventilators, and there are not many deaths compared to other places in the world. The rabbi will probably believe that this is "relatively correct decision-making" and others will believe that along with decision-making there is also divine providence in Israel.
 
However, very difficult news is coming in about what is happening to Jews abroad. Especially in the United States. It is said that in the United States, the Jewish communities have suffered a relatively severe blow compared to the population there (which is also suffering difficult blows). Rabbis and community leaders are hospitalized and some have even passed away from the burden of the mitzvot. There are already quite a few children who have been left fatherless. This hurts the hearts of many Jews.
 
My question is a somewhat intimate one for the Rabbi –
 
Intellectually , the rabbi is quite convinced that there is no divine intervention, and even if they pray, it probably doesn't mean much. But does the rabbi still have some emotion that awakens him to cry out to God and ask for healing and providence in light of the difficult situation the entire world is experiencing?
 
Best regards, Ehud

Hello Ehud. It seems to me that if you examine the data in an unbiased manner, they show the opposite of the intervention hypothesis. The Haredim are sicker than others. The majority of infections occur in synagogues. There are places in the world whose situation is not worse than ours (this does not only apply to us). And now add to this the data you cite on Jews abroad, including rabbis and leaders, who are also Jews. To conclude from this that there is truly divine intervention would have to be particularly biased. I don't have one.
