The Body Rose From the River

A tragedy once occurred when a man named R’ Avrohom drowned in a river.

The Chevrah Kadisha arrived and searched for the body for several hours but they could not locate it. They went to the Bnei Yissochor and asked him what to do. He went with some of his chasidim to the river and said,

“River, what do you think? Do you think we can’t do what Rav Pinchos ben Yair did? Do you think we can’t spilt the waters? I command you to spit our R’ Avrohom! If you don’t, I will decree that you should dry up and never flow again!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a wave arose from the river and threw R’ Avrohom to the shore, thus allowing the Chevrah Kadisha to bring him to his final resting place.
