[Avodah] pitum haketores

[Micha Berger]

I am Litvak enough to have a personal frustration with the current trend
toward segulah-ism. People spending more attention to Pereq Shirah,
saying Pitum haQetores from a kelaf (a segulah for parnasah), getting
pesichah to insure a wife's easy delivery, etc... than in shoring up
performance of mitzvos.

Rather than looking to mitzvos and yir'as hacheit, or even looking at
yir'as ha'onesh vs sechar, it's al menas leqbeil peras. Not sechar,
meriting siyata diShmaya, but peras. It's all so magickal.

Tir'u baTov!
-Micha
