This story is ridiculous and antithetical to everything Torah Judaism stands for.

We admire wisdom and scholarship, not miracle workers. When we turn our scholars into miracle workers with absurd stories we rob our children of the Torah’s aspiration for them - that they become Torah scholars. 

Instead, these stories make it seem Judaism admires leaders who can perform miracles like walking on water or turning water into wine. Torah Judaism never sets miracle working as a goal or objective.

Jew who spread these false stories don’t recognize the harm and desecration of God’s name they cause (let alone the shaming of Torah scholars). If a Torah scholar could stop the fire, why didn’t he stop the entire fire??? The spreaders of this “noroshkeit” never stop to think past the superficial details to recognize the inconsistencies in their stories.

For the Torah’s sake this tweet should be deleted. It leads genuine Jews who are interested in following the Torah astray to wrong priorities.
