“Missiles Don’t Fall for Nothing”: The Yenukah Delivers Emotional Chizuk to Karadi Family After Tragedy

May 3, 2026·3 min read

During a nichum aveilim visit to the Karadi family following the killing of young Nesia Hy”d in a missile strike, powerful words of emunah and hisorerus were shared first by the grieving father and then by the Yenukah.

The father spoke about the profound spiritual impact his daughter had in the short time since her passing. “I sit and think about what I’ve gained in these three and a half weeks… what merits she brought into the world,” he said. He added that even those distant from Yiddishkeit were moved to change: “Three people who heard her story took upon themselves to keep Shabbos.”

He described how, amid the immense pain, a wave of teshuvah and strengthening had emerged, with Nesia’s story touching hearts across many circles.

The Yenukah then addressed the family with deeply emotional words. “I don’t even know how to begin… how do you begin to thank for what you’ve received,” he said. He described the girl as a “holy soul,” adding: “A holy child. She died sanctifying Hashem’s Name. She brought sanctification of His Name throughout the world.” He also expressed awe at the father’s faith, saying, “I sit with him and tremble from his words—how he praises Hashem.”

At one point, the Yenukah addressed a painful question troubling many: how such a tragedy could happen davka in Bnei Brak, a city of Torah. “Missiles never fell here. The Chazon Ish, Rav Chaim Kanievsky zt”l, all the holy ones here gave their lives for Torah—and suddenly we see what happened,” he said.

He stressed that such events are not random. “This is meant to shake us—where have we come to,” he said. He explained that even places of kedusha are not immune when there is a breakdown in achdus: “If there is lashon hara, it breaks down all the walls.” Citing Chazal, he noted that even when Klal Yisroel struggled spiritually, unity protected them, but division brought harm. He added with pain: “Missiles don’t fall for nothing… swords come down into the world, and no one knows who they will strike.”

The Yenukah called on the ציבור to strengthen in ahavas Yisroel. “We need to stop all the disputes… to love one another, to support one another,” he said, emphasizing that the responsibility extends beyond the immediate family. “This is pain for all of us,” he added, urging continued support even after shivah: “Not just now—also afterward, to come, to help, to strengthen the mother and the father.”

He concluded with words of comfort, speaking about the elevated place of pure souls: “Such souls are in the highest places… with tzaddikim and with angels.” He ended with a tefillah: “May Hashem give strength and comfort, and may we merit the complete redemption, the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash, and the resurrection of the dead במהרה.”
