[Avodah] You can't make this stuff up!

[Micha Berger]

So, On Oct 29, a group of notzrim looking to pray for financial success
went to the famous statue at Bowling Green (not far from Wall Street,
and even closer to US Agudah and OU offices) to pray. A little confused
on their seifer shemos and Melakhim alef...

To quote, "We are going to intercede at the site of the statue of the
bull on Wall Street to ask God to begin a shift from the bull and bear
markets to what we feel will be the 'Lion's Market,' or God's
control over the economic systems."

The picture drives home the sheer absurdity:

(Also useful if you didn't yet realize what it's a statue of...)

Tir'u baTov!
