Jerusalem – It is certain that an earthquake at least as powerful as the one that occurred in Haiti two weeks ago will hit Israel, according to an expert speaking Tuesday at the Knesset.

The meeting was held to discuss the strengthening of Israel’s infrastructure to withstand a Haiti-sized quake.
Chairman of the Steering Committee, representing the Infrastructure Ministry, Dr. Avi Shapira, said that “what is killing these people are the buildings. I have serious reservations about the term ‘natural disaster.’ It is the buildings that turned into death traps.”
der aibeshter would not let it happen . imyh
it is writen in the torah that at the time of moshiach the mounten of olives will split it tow may god save us
Chas vesholom 100000x. I daven that such a terrible thing would never happen! ……. To west Jerusalem atleast. We could use a”change of scenery” to the east, if u know what I mean 😉
Doesn’t the Cohen Gadol bless the people of the Sharon on Y”K that their homes should not become their graves…suggesting that this was a recurring problem???
In Retzuas Aza, where people store explosives under their beds & cushions & live in high-riser buildings, coulfd you imagine the explosions & fires, that will rock & burn the place? No one will go to help like in Haiti, because who wants to get blowen up. It may be a wake up call for them not to conduct their war from within the so called civilian zone.

Some comments make me wonder how we really relate to hashem. To say hashem will never make it happen in EY is a stupid answer because if the is a fault line there and the crust of the earth moves a inch or so a year and hashem gave us the knowledge to know and understand this and then we go and build on land that will rock and shake ones in a while, buildings and infrastructure that cannot withstand such tremors, than who is the dummy? Hashem never said you have to live in condos and drive your car on bridges that can’t withstand a earthquake. To say have emunah hashem will never make it happen here because yidden live here, not Haitians, is the dumbest form preservation I have heard.
Bunch of dumb hype to bring a story like this………….just feeds into the 12/21/12 hysteria.
whats soppose to happen in 12/21/12 ?
During about 1837 there was a terrible earthquake in the city of Tzfas. Sadly, many lives were lost and great amount of injuries. But dont panic. On Yom Kippur we read Maftir Yona to remind us that from Hashem you can run but you cannot hide. So better to stop worrying and do Teshuva before you end up in H— just like like Korach.
