“I’ve never heard of any segula in eating the end piece of a bris challa, but the “other reasons” I mentioned would not apply to a woman”
And I have heard it all my life. Give the shpitz to a pregnant woman at the bris so she should have a boy, and give some wine from the kos of a chosson and kallah’ sheva brachos wine tp single people, as a segulah for getting married. Whether or not one believes in segulahs as having kochos, it is undeniable that a lot of people are doing these things.
Squeak, why is kasha l’shikcha not a problem for women? Also, it there an actual halacha about this inyan (regarding men, I mean)? I never heard of it until I saw it here. It’s very interesting, and I would like to know of the source for it.
