Some Jewish web sites, whose names I will not mention,
to avoid Lashon HaRa, sell segulot or yeshuot or refuot,
in exchange for donations or purchasing merchandise.
Two quick examples:
[1] Rabbi _______ sells “a rare blessing”
“To be signed on Yom Kippur for a revealed miracle!”
and “a year in which they will see a visible miracle!”
If this “rare blessing” does not work,
can the donor get his money back?
[2] One organization sells “a silver knife with a personal inscription”
as “a segulah for abundant parnassah”.
If this segulah does not work,
can the donor return the knife and get his money back?
One final question: If these segulot are so powerful,
then why do the people who sell them need donations?
