    R’ Itzkil was famed to be a miracle worker. I don’t know all the stories offhand but ask anyone you know there must be loads. I was wondering if anyone knows any nowadays maybe from R’ Chaim or maybe for

    R’ Elyashiv. The Chasam Sofer was also famed to be a miracle worker, there is a book out there called something like the miracles of the Chassam Sofer and I’ve read it a few times already, it’s quite amazing all the miracles he did. There must be countless stories from all the tzaddikim who lived throughout the generations who most of were well versed in Kabbalah and therefore had the special ability to do miracles.

    When yitzchok couldn’t have children, why didn’t he just ask his father avraham to be gozer that he would?

    Was avraham not a tzaddik?

    the biggest miracle is that he is a gadol.

    PBA: Ein Adam Matir Atzmo MiBeis HaAssurim. B’nei Banim Harei Heim K’banim. With no (viable) descendants, Avraham couldn’t be Gozer that Yitzchak have kids because that would be like being Gozer for himself. (This started out as a Purim Torah answer to your Purim Torah question but it sounds pretty good, no?)

    Because first you needed a tzadik to be gozer that when a tzadik is gozer then it works.

    And they just didn’t think of it.

    PBA, although the Medrash says that it worked when R’ Shimon promised a child, not always is it in a Tzaddik’s hand. Not everyone gets helped by a miracle worker, and it is seldom that a Tzaddik promises something.
