Miracles

What is the inner meaning of miracles and why are they less common today than in time past?

We are all familiar with the open miracles in our tradition like the splitting of the Red Sea; are they mere legend, superstition and voodoo or a deeper dimension of reality?

A miracle breaks the barriers of nature. Do miracles happen today? Can we create miracles in this world through our prayers and actions?

A miracle in the quality or quantity of the oil lights, or something else entirely?

The tzaddik is similar to the Creator. One such similarity is the power of the word: G-d said “let there be light” and there was light, since then all of nature obeys the word of holiness when uttered by a tzaddik.
