Recently the Hamodia Magazine published a story with the title "When
a Volcano Did Hashem's Will." This story, in essentially the same
form, was sent to me by several people and appeared in a number of
publications. (Please see http://tinyurl.com/23ota8k for one version.
The Hamodia version does not seem to be on the Internet.)
Personally, I am a bit "disturbed: by the many "miracle" stories that
are circulated today. First of all, I am never certain that they are
true. Secondly, I wonder why people are so taken with them. I have
the feeling that today there is a trend to turn Yahadus into a
religion of hocus pocus.
These and some other thoughts prompted me to write a letter to the
Editor of the Hamodia Magazine. The Hamodia published this letter in
this week's issue of the magazine. It is at
"<http://personal.stevens.edu/%7Ellevine/volcanoes_miracles.pdf>More
on Volcanos and Miracles" Letter to the Editor of the Hamodia
Magazine June 16, 2010, page 5.
