This is a collection of 250 anecdotes and stories about science and religion, including this one: Rabbi Ezekiel Lando, Chief Rabbi of Prague, once was accosted in his study by a madman who ordered him to perform a miracle ? to jump from the high window of the rabbi's study and land without injury on the ground ? or the madman would kill him. The rabbi replied that an acrobat could do the same thing without a miracle, but that he, the rabbi, could perform a true miracle: If the madman would wait in the study, the rabbi would go outside and then fly like a bird up to the high window of the study. The madman agreed, and the rabbi went outside, where he summoned the police, and the madman was apprehended.
