Q&A: And It Became a Wonder
And It Became a Wonder
Question
Good evening
I met a protester against the regime overhaul and the harm to Israeli democracy who claims, as something tested and proven, that aside from one time, always—really always—the Holy One, blessed be He, had pity on the dear protesters and no rain fell during the protests, even though there were periods at the beginning of the overhaul when they went out to protest all over the country, sometimes night after night.
It rained before, it rained after, but not during the protest itself. (One time, at one of the protests in Hostages Square, the mother of a hostage finished her words with a tear on our cheek; the protest ended, and the windows of heaven opened. Everyone saw this as the heavens crying together with the mother and the protesters—and still, Heaven forbid, not during the protest itself but a moment afterward.)
Is it more reasonable to assume that this is intervention by the Holy One, blessed be He, in nature, taking pity on the people of Israel, His close nation?
Answer
No doubt. The Holy One, blessed be He, is one, and Shikma Bressler is His prophetess, and her word shall stand forever.
Discussion on Answer
If it doesn’t work for wonder-working rabbis, rabbis, rebbes, and sorcerers,
but God answers Shikma Bressler,
then people need to give her kvitlekh.
I’ve written more than once that this is a religion. I see that all the symptoms are starting to develop there. In the next stage they’ll go up to the graves of the protest leaders and light candles, point to their prophecies being fulfilled, their words will become binding by force of “do not deviate,” they’ll quote promises that the eternity of the protest will not lie, and so on.
