Results for your tefillos are not up to you. Sometimes Hashem says NO. We have to continue davening and hope for the best. Whatever happens is for the best weather we like it or not.
So very sad!!!! A Tzaddik…
Too many people younger than me are in the obituaries.
He was one of the true Tzaddikim and Talmidei Chachomim of our generation. So sad to lose him so young.
