Q:

If Hashem doesn’t give a person more yesurim than he can take, why did many people crack up during the war?

A:

Now when people say Hashem doesn’t give more yesurim than a person can take, it’s not a true statement. Because you find that some people die from yesurim. You don’t need ‘cracking up’ – people are cracked altogether. People are shot during the war. So this principle we don’t accept. Hashem does give people more yesurim than they can take.

But we say this and it’s true: Hashem doesn’t test a man with a stronger temptation than he can take. He can always fight back. According to his nature that’s how big the yetzer hara that tests him is given to him to confront. But otherwise we don’t make such a statement.
