I believe this was a wakeup call from Shamayim for the Jews of the US to wake up and remember who they really are. That even for Jews (like the ones who were murdered in Ptsbgh) who know very little about how a Jew should live, they were just as much victims as any other Jew, no matter how pious or far removed from Yiddishkeit.

Because it is so controversial, and it has been blown out of proportion, there are many messages for the Jewish community. Many Rabbis have differing opinions. What Rabbi Kessin did say that was important, is that it was their time to leave the world. How it occurred is secondary. We overlooked that in previous comments.
