Unlike most tzadikim (great people) of that time, we have an accurate painting of Reb Bunim. Reb Simcha Bunim's exceptional power of tefillah (prayers) saved him from a devastating break-up on the day of his wedding. The spot where Reb Simcha Bunim davened (prayed) on his wedding day, retains miraculous powers as seen through a story. Reb Simcha Bunim related a deep parable and frightened all his listeners by revealing the aveiros (sins) they had performed recently.
