Reply To: The Power of a Gadol

crisisoftheweek: These stories of “miracles” happen on a bell curve. WE tend to only pay heed to the ones where the results are “spooky” and indicative of some super natural ability.

Speak for yourself. I never personally heard a Gadol say anything spooky in my life before, and I never heard stories of R’ Chaim ever yelling out Hashem Yeracheim. That’s the reason I kept the paper with the names. While I do believe in the power of gedolim, honestly I was kinda testing to see if something bad would end up happening. It happened, and my belief has been strengthened- not only in their powers, but also in Hashem.
