Another tragic link of my writing to immediate news events. This time, it is of my early afternoon entry Eishet Chayil Of The House Of Zayin to a tragic motor vehicle accident which happened that very same night, reported the next day in Vos Iz Neias and today in Jewish And Breaking News:

Jewish Philanthropist Rabbi Benzion Dunner Dies In Crash

A prominent member of Britain's Jewish community was killed in a two-car smash on the Spur Road at the weekend.

Wealthy philanthropist Rabbi Benzion Dunner died instantly when his 175,000 Pound Bentley Arnage was in collision with a Toyota Celica on the south-bound carriageway, around one-and-a-half miles from the Ashley Heath roundabout.

News of the 45-year-old's tragic death was immediately posted on Jewish websites and, in accordance with the religion, his funeral was held within 24 hours.

Rabbi Dunner, from Golders Green in London, is believed to have been on his way to an event at Bournemouth's kosher hotel, the Normandie, when the accident happened at 9.45pm on Saturday. Members of his family were in the car with him but are not believed to be seriously hurt.

Why? Why? Why?
