“The mice picture also bothers me a little. But that I have seen in a bunch of places.”
I was thinking that perhaps it’s not the paper and print that works, it’s that mice are scared of the image of R Shayale. That would certainly be different to having a picture that can’t be seen on the knees of the sandek at a bris.
Does the segulah of R Shayale work if the picture is covered and can’t be seen?
