Editor's Note:
Dear readers,
Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, whose passing is marked on Lag BaOmer [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=5C075472EA658F5362E1BD562F8031EB&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], spent thirteen years in a cave in Israel hiding from Roman pursuers. He lived off the fruit of a carob tree and water from a spring, both of which had miraculously appeared for his benefit.
They tell a story about a man whose ship had capsized at sea, and, while struggling to stay afloat on a makeshift raft, he prayed to G‑d that he be saved. Within moments, a helicopter appeared and dropped him a ladder. He called out to the pilot, "No thanks, I am expecting a miracle from G‑d."
At times we tend to overlook the miracles in our lives. Sure, they aren't as obvious as they once were. But G‑d still keeps the universe functioning miraculously. Whether it's the sun rising each morning in the east, or every breath we breathe and step we take, it's all a miracle.
So take a moment to appreciate the miracles we experience on a daily basis. Everything is there just for us; let's make the best of it.
Have a miraculously enlightening read!
Rabbi Eliezer Zalmanov,
on behalf of the Chabad.org Editorial Team

Are the Festivals Relevant Nowadays? (video) (By Chana Weisberg)
