A Virtual Beit Midrash
Got an insight to share? Interested in stimulating ideas about Jewish topics? Feeling the urge to do some Torah study in all those days between Hebrew School? Then this is the blog for you.
The goal of this blog is to bring the lively debates and discussions from our class sessions outside the confines of the classroom. With such a wide range of ideas, there is so much to say and never enough time to say it. This blog will enable the conversations to keep going even after the bell has rung.

Successful Tzedakah Project
Our bake sale for Darfur aid raised $368 (in just an hour and a half!) Yishar Koach to the whole kitah zayin class, who helped with the organization, postering, baking and logistics. With everyone's help and participation, we were able to make a difference. May we all have such success raising tzedakah in the future. See below for the photos...

I think that miracles come from both people and God. I think that when people do something that they thought was impossible, it is a miracle. That strength to do something is people themselves, but I think that they get the strength from God.
Miracles come from all over! GTG
Shifra, what a beautiful comment. I think it sounds a lot like Harold Kushner, a famous author. Maybe you should write a book, too...
I think that miracles come from within (even though it sounds like it's from a corny sports movie) the will and fortitude to do something miraculous is not easily found. Also it depends on your definition of "miricale" (It's perfect we were talking about this in calss today). For example is sawing arm off with a small knife to free yourself from a sliding boulder a "miracle" (gruesome but true) is falling like 40 flooors and survivng a "miracle"? Maybe their are no miracales maybe that their are people who are REALLY lucky or who just have enough blind grit to survive. I beleive that if you want to call them miracles go ahead but they are found inside oneself not God making/influencing you to do it.
I don't know. Everybody has a different definition and view on the word "miracle." It's hard to give it just one definition and meaning. Also, it's hard to classify something as either a "miracle" or "just luck." I guess it depends on the person judging the words and meanings and the person going through the luck or miracle.

I thimk that miracles come from both G-d and people. When the rare miracles in the torah occur you can almost be sure that G-d is responsible for them. However what about everyday miracles? I believe that people perform those-- they are able to do this because everone had some of G-d inside them.
