My question is why do we assume he was niftar because of aveirus?? he wasn't niftar at age 50
and we feel we're on th elevel to speculate about rav elyashiv? or about anyone for that matter?
The Ramban (end of toras Hashem temima) says it's a Miztvas Essa for one to attempt to understand why GD punishes oneself. So we are obligated to engage in such speculation.
Oneself or someone else?
Mourning a tzadik is deifrent than trying to delve into the reasons of his loss
Toisfos and Rabeinu Bachai, to name 2. But yes, thats an interesting Rambam.
Just a reminder: this is a secular forum (which accidentally attracted an out-of-proportion crowd of religious hawks), so please be tolerant. Thanks.#lamdan
However determining it as a fact requires a נביא.
who would know that by keeping my old trusty centro "dumb phone" I am saving the gedolim "one dumb phone at a time"
The loss of R Elyashiv is probably considered a personal loss to all, for example everyone is mechuyav to tear kriea.
The rambam holds every death is caused by something whereas other rishonim hold a person is born with a specific life quota.
