Barukh Dayan Emet

I wish to extend condolences to Maria of Hatshepsut, on the death of her grandmother. 

The traditional Jewish response on hearing of a death is:

ברוך דין אמת

Barukh Dayan Emet

Blessed is the True Judge

The only thing that can be done in the presence of the ultimate tragedy is to accept the truth. And the only consolation is the thought that, somehow, it is part of God's plan.
