Rabbi am I under the wrong impression I
think at one time I thought you said
that um we now live in uh in the time of
hidden Miracles and in the past it was
you know seen Miracles like um the
Hanukkah lamp and the splitting of the
Red Sea right but I think that we have
we have Miracles H seen Miracles now
also what you were talking about before
about The Six Day War that's not a
hidden Miracle that's a
you know that's a scene miracle and the
fact that you know when I started coming
to Aura was several years ago you gave a
she in uh
JCC and the topic was the Holocaust and
as a child of a Survivor I this is very
and you you've lectured on this many
times and I've always had a very
difficult time understanding what you're
saying and accepting it but for some
reason tonight when somebody said
something about the war so ghetto
the miracle was that there were
survivors I mean that in itself is a
miracle it wasn't supposed you know that
wasn't the plan the fact that there were
survivors who came out who were able to
have children who have
grandchildren that in itself is the
miracle the war so ghetto with all that
was Was Defeated how many Jews were
there against how many German soldiers
compared to how many polish soldiers
against the Germans and they were
defeated how much longer did the Jews
hold out than the other ones so we are
in an age of seen Miracles well there
miracles in the ushitz itself people
people who were in the gas chamber and
were saved there was a lot of Miracles
during the war it means un un without
numbers Miracles upon Miracles
but
khah
was and the terms you're talking about
even more than the Six Day War they
outnumbered
ridiculously if you look in the books of
the wars of the of the world throughout
Generations they Count Their the 10
greatest generals who ever lived this
one this and Judah makabe who was one of
the greatest 10 Generals who ever lived
because he led
his outnumbered soldiers and out weapons
soldiers against the great numbers and
he was Victorious so it wasn't like
splitting the Red Sea it wasn't turning
water into blood people it looks like a
miracle but people say the Israelis had
this so smart and are
stupid and they have the great generals
and so smart great strategy and so on a
lot of people can sort of put it down
and they it's able to say that it's a
it's a great uh minds and the Jewish
people are so smart and they have Smart
it's it's not a open miracle that cannot
be uh
uh denied by other people want to deny
it turning water into blood you can't
deny it's something that even par even
his magicians and all his AIDS they all
agreed that it's that these are Miracles
that they couldn't deny but these that
you're talking about people with eyes
people with eyes they uh they see the
Miracles they look in the but like job
says I look at my hand and I look at my
body and I see God the Miracles of of
person's heartbeating why is the
heartbeating breathing everything about
a person are Miracles depends depends
how you look at it but there are people
who look at things that the when Russian
esut went up the first time he came down
I didn't see God up there the Russian
said so the Americans said them if you
didn't see him down here you w't see him
up there
either that was very well well said
so it depends how you look at things
