[Avodah] ketoret klaf

[L Reich]

From: Elozor Reich

A friend of mine here in Manchester, a Talmid Chochom of substance, has expressed reservation about this Ketoros on Klaf Segulah.

This passage is a Bryso in the Talmud; by definition part of Torah Sh'Baal Peh. There exits an ancient dictum that TSB"P should remain and remembered in verbal form and not be put into writing.

This dictum was suspended in extremis to prevent Torah to be forgotten. To write down TSB"P for other purposes is less than otiose: hence to use it for a "Segulah" is pointless or worse.

My friend has discussed the matter with a number of Gedolim including R' Chaim Kanievsky, he tells me, and all concur.
