I had a short stint with infertility, and a kind woman gave me some ruby powder to DRINK with a copy of the mekor- a page from R’ Bechaye where it says that one who drinks it will have a son. My husband said the lady should drink it herself as a z’chus for us, but I told my husband that with a name like tomim tihye, how could I ignore the words of R’ Bechaye? He consented, and I downed it without tasting it.
Indeed, my son was born nine months later, and the woman kvells whenever she sees him.
