Miracles
Three Jews are sitting and talking.
One says: "I was in Berdychiv and listened to their rabbi. What a wise and learned man he is!"
The second Jew replied: 'Probably not as wise and learned as the tzaddik from Kock. This one could even do miracles!"
The third one replied: "Miracles, shmiracles. No one can match the rabbi from my village!"
The two Jews replied: "What can your rabbi do?"
"What can he do? You can judge for yourself. Our rabbi was driving in a carriage home from town on Friday afternoon. It suddenly became late, and the first star came out. Another one would be in trouble because how can you drive home on the Sabbath? But it was not a problem for our rabbi. He just said a prayer and waved with his hand to the left side of the road, then said a second prayer and waved with his hand to the right side of the road. And you will not believe it, but it was already Sabbath on the left side of the road, and it was already Sabbath on the right of the road. But it was still Friday in the middle of the road, and our rabbi could safely come home!
