R.Kessin states that the prayer at R.Yaakov Abuhatzeira's grave on 22 October 1942 stopped Rommel invading Eretz Yisrael and thwarted the Holocaust. It may have stopped Rommel, and the Germans never won a battle after El Alameint But it did not prevent the Holocaust. In October 1942 most of the 6 million Jews of Europe were still alive! The Nazi implementation of the Holocaust and the rounding up and systematic deportation of Jews by trains to the concentration camps and gas chambers (which had only been settled at the Wannsee Conference in January 1942) was only just beginning in earnest: the destruction of the Jews of Belgium, Holland, France, Greece, Russia, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, Poland, the Warsaw Ghetto uprising etc was still in the future through 1943, 1944 and early 1945! Basically even after the prayer at the grave, the Germans were still able to pull off killing 5,500 Jews every single day for 3 years!
Probably one of his greatest. But it indicates to me the spiritual level that he has attained. This gives even more credence to his observations on world events. How many people can claim to know and understand Hashem's plan for this world the way he does? Shlomo
