The Rabbi on the Beach at the Shul on The Beach
The proliferation of Segulahs and tricks to get your way with God is increasing daily.
The Yated (American Yeshivish news paper) has a Chinuch Roundtable where this issue was discussed. Almost to a man the Rabbis (one of whom is my father) warned of the danger in relying too heavily on these tricks.
Last time I linked to Parshablog it was for a similar reason and yesterday Parshablog had another disturbing example of this trend.
