I am responding to Eli Posner's followup of an article I  posted,
where I quoted a Rabbi in Israel as having stated that the Satmar
Rebbe's opposition to pre-messianic settlement in Israel  stemmed
from a personal tragedy.

The use of signs of this sort  to  gain  insight  into  difficult
issues  is  not  a  new  one (These signs would not be considered
case  that  I  heard from a different rabbi, where some respected
sages considered the possibility  of  reinstituting  the  'Karban
Pesach' in Israel. They lived outside of  Israel,  themselves.  I
believe  that the issue was raised during the time of the Maharal
Miprag and came up again during the  time  of Rav  Kook  z"l   in
the  early  part  of  this century (the first Rav Kook, z"l, that
is.)

The idea was that since 'Tuma hootra betzibur' (ask  someone  you
respect  for a good explanation,) and some other reasons I do not
recall, the 'Karban Pesach' could be sacrificed without  a  'Beit
Hamikdash', etc.

At any rate, some tragedy occurred in that situation, and it  was
taken  as  a  the  details  and  I apologize for that. I know how
frustrating that can be to people trying to make sense of what  I
am writing.
