Modern Miracles In The Fifteenth Century Jewish Ship Legend
In fifteenth century Spain a group of imprisoned Jews faced execution. Grand rabbi Ben Simah Durand allegedly drew a ship with charcoal, and followers touched it to summon a real vessel to safety in Algiers. A rival Ben Kona later drew a life-like lion with charcoal and rode it to Mostaganem. The tale, while extraordinary, cites named figures and a lineage to the Durand family. A second, more recent miracle involves Abd el Kader el Djilali, whose sandal was thrown through a wall to aid travelers against brigands, an event claimed to prove miraculous intervention.
