None of your answers really address the question. Regardles of hishtadlus,
since when do we say you're allowed to ignore safeiq piquach nefesh in
order to aid the next day's learning -- or for any other mitzvah? Making
this a she'eilah of whether histadlus is required is itself something
very hard to understand.

Me: was Rav Zilberstein being serious about not taking children to a bomb
shelter,  or was he being pedantic to show that the mitzva of hishtadlut is
the wrong model to analyze this particular responsibility,  or was he
making a point that the risk of being hit is so small that one need not
necessarily run to a bomb shelter? Or was he making a point about how real
and actual he considered the protecting given by Torah learning while being
engaged in learning Torah?
