When is the intersection of an isolated normal singularity with a generic linear subspace through that singularity  normal? Suppose I have an affine subvariety $A \subset {\mathbb C}^N$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ which has an isolated singularity at $0$ (lets say for the sake of simplicity that it is non-singular everywhere else).
Suppose that this variety $A$ is normal.
In order to study singularities it often seems like a good idea to study hyperplane sections or intersections with lower dimensional linear subspaces passing through that singularity.
Let $L$ be a generic linear subspace of ${\mathbb C}^N$ of dimension $N - n + 2$ passing through the origin. If $L$ is generic enough then $A \cap L$ has dimension $2$ and has an isolated singularity at the origin. Is it true that $A \cap L$ is normal for $L$ generic enough? 
 A: I don't think so. There are examples of isolated normal threefold singularities that are not Cohen-Macaulay. A hyperplane section is not Cohen-Macaulay, hence it can not be normal, because a normal surface is Cohen-Macaulay.
A: I'm going to assume your singularity is dimension $\geq 3$.  Angelo beat me to the answer but he is right, this is not true.  But it is true sometimes (including the Cohen-Macaulay case as he implied).
A singularity is normal if it is $R1$ and $S2$.  In your case, an isolated singularity is normal if the depth at the singular point is at least 2.
Now, a general hyperplane section will be $R1$ by Bertini.  So we just need to check that the general hyperplane is $S2$.  Well, for this we just need the depth to be at least 2 again, and hence we just need the original singularity to have depth $\geq 3$.
Conclusion: If your singularity is $S3$ (in your case just $\text{depth} \geq 3$), then what you want holds after cutting down by ONE hyperplane
EDIT:  As Angelo pointed out, the actual question didn't cut down by just one hyperplane.  In that case you can't just have depth $\geq 3$, you need $X$ to be Cohen-Macaulay.
Of course, not all singularities satisfy this, for example a cone over an Abelian surface.
