Why Did the Terrible Accident Happen in Jerusalem on Shamgar Street?

Last week, the people of Israel were struck with shock and astonishment when a bus, empty of passengers and without a driver, ran over and killed Mrs. Shoshana Glustein, 30, a teacher from Ofakim, and her two daughters—her 7-year-old daughter Chaya Sarah and her toddler daughter Chana, age three—on Shamgar Street in the heart of the Holy City of Jerusalem.

Our teacher, Rav Berland shlit"a, in a new prayer regarding the guarding of the eyes, addresses the terrible accident and explains in a spiritual manner how such tragedies occur, Heaven forbid.

Before you is the full prayer:

Master of the World, All-Powerful, from Whom no scheme is hidden, grant me the merit to guard my eyes and to never again look at any strange woman, nor any strange girl, Heaven forbid. Let me know that upon every strange woman and every strange girl dwell 180,000 destroying angels. And the moment one looks at a woman or a girl, Heaven forbid, they give permission to all the destroying angels to cause road accidents, just as happened in Jerusalem on Shamgar Street. And thousands of innocent people are killed, Heaven forbid. Therefore, grant me the merit from now on to never again see any strange woman, Heaven forbid.

Before you is the prayer in the holy handwriting of our teacher, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a:
