“Yoshke created miracles.”
Don’t know about you, but I don’t believe the Christian testament. See Sanhedrin 90.
What we absolutely do not find in Yiddish Hashkafa is not to thank Hashem for a salvation, natural or otherwise, לעושי רצונו or לעוברי רצונו. The aforementioned incidents of something happening because of—or even my means of—the Satan, were not miracles and were not salvation.
This is a whole brand new ideology to start judging whether or not a salvation came from Hashem. I guess we got a new Pshat in the הווא אמינא of the עגל worshipers and Korach. חומרא דאתא לידי קולא.
So it bothers you that Hashem is מאריך אף on Jews who are in trouble? He had patience for Achav; He can have patience for our confused generation as well. Take a look at the outcome. People see miracles and they turn to Hashem. The patience paid off.
The Medrash says that Hashem will blame our sins on the ones who brought us into exile. The Galus took its toll. Have patience and allow heavenly salvation and slowly our brothers and sisters, endowed will holy Neshamos, will turn to Hashem. As we find in Yechezkel that in the days to come, the rebuke will be in the form of benefits.
