Any place in which we lack understanding, we must have emuna. When we cannot fathom how certain things can happen to us – we must know that it is first choice (לכתחילה), predestined, this is the plan, it is the path that we must traverse on the way to our ultimate correction – it is not a bad break – nothing happens to us that does not need to happen to us. ~ Rav Menachem Azolai as translated by Dov Elias
