Miracles

The second Jewish Hero we are learnt about is Issac/Yitzchak. Yitzchak had many great attributes for us to learn from as he was a great man and a father of the Jewish people. One thing which sticks out when hearing the stories in the Torah about Yitzchak are the miracles that took place at his birth. 



 Every child that is born is a miracle. It is an awesome experience that every mother can relate to as she remembers the moments she heard that first cry. Imagine Sara. She was already 90 years old, yet childless. When three angles visited Avraham and Sara's tent to inform them about a baby that would be born to them, Sara laughed. Who wouldn't? It seems completely impossible. Until 'Miracles' step in. When G-d performs a miracle, especially a clear and open one, the unimaginable can happen.

The students in the fifth and sixth grades internalized this message as they acted out the miracle story of Yitzchak's birth. G-d is constantly orchestrating the world and its every detail. Even things which we may dismiss as 'nature' is the hand of G-d.With every leaf that blows in the wind and every crash of thunder, we are witnessing miracles. Notice the miracles that G-d does at every moment, and don't forget to say Thank You!!
