Do you think that it is a bit OTT how you can officialy buy a segulo from places like Kupdat Hair for nothing? Is this the right hashkofoh?
Apparently 6/10 guys ask for a refund
Donating when you run out of petrol is cheaper than refilling
R Chaim Kanievsky is the Fiveish of Kupat HAir (which is definitely wrong)
Apparently a 90 year old woman doanted and ticked the wrong box – she had a kid last week!
My friend was childless for years… last night he donated and THE NEXT DAY his wife gave birth!
All these jokes underline: Is tzaeddaka been perverted slightly that you buy a yeshua? Tzedaka al menas sheyichye beni does not go as far as the 4 Segulos in 1 donation from this week!
Hi yekke2.
Great point! On the surface, these things seem a little too superficial to be genuine.
Now I am no expert, but for many reasons money can have great significance in spiritual matters and mitzvos. Even money, chas veshalom, from a rasha, like haman, can capture heavenly attention.
I think, like in davening, the intent, focus, concentration, etc., are what make it work or not.
a yekke wouldnt understand a brocho from a rebbe either so when u ask a rebbe for a brocho and give him some $ r u buying a brocho too come on!
I don’t mean to make fun of the ????, C”V – Just how over-exaggerated the entire ???? is of buying a ????? rather than giving ?????
you want them to buy a chinese auction ticket instead? I think this way is better
so by a chinese auction you’re Buying a raffle ticket hoping to win something and you get a little disappointed when you don’t win, totally forgetting the “correct” reason as to why you should give to this mosad
What bothers me most is the crass commercialization of gedolim by various organizations. I’m afraid that the next time I open the yated or hamodia paper I will see pictures of gedolim perusing the brochure of prizes for a chineese auction or wolfing down a hot dog at a fundraising bbq.
The segulot for parnassa are guaranteed to work for those who sell them.
People are so ignorant when it comes to these wishful thinking charms. Shlissel challah, for example, was researched recently and found to have zero halachic or even Jewish basis atall, and is in fact a Christian concept. Just Daven, there’s no other magical cure for anything.
