Bodrogkeresztur (Hungary) (AFP) – They come in their tens of thousands by chartered plane, bus and even helicopter to the shrine of Hungary’s “Miracle Rabbi” to pray for health, wealth and marriages for their children. Once a year, orthodox Jews from all over the world descend on a sleepy Hungarian village in search of divine intervention. Yeshaya Steiner, known as Rabbi Shayele, died in 1925 after devoting his life to feeding the poor and performing wonders for Jews and Gentiles alike in the tiny eastern village of Bodrogkeresztur.
