 No absolute immunity - Jewish Media Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Reporters ironically juxtaposed the scene of death and destruction to a nearby poster proclaiming the "miracle" that occurred a year earlier when a car bomb detonated seconds after a truck laden with gas canisters passed by, and no one was injured.
Before the suicide bombing in Beit Yisrael, chareidim did not smugly observe the unfolding tragedies all around as somehow unrelated to them.
It is in this context that last year’s celebration of the miracle in Beit Yisrael must be understood — not as an assertion that Torah learning is always sufficient to protect, but as a means of strengthening the commitment of yeshiva students.
