Segulah for Education
Q: Is there a Segulah to have
righteous children?
A: A good education (And so
too in Shut Doresh Tzion of Ha-Rav Ben Tzion Mutzafi: There are no Segulot and no
ruses. For education, one has to work
and invest. And Ha-Rav Chaim Kanievski
related that someone once came to Ha-Griz Soloveitchik – the Brisker Rav – and
asked for a blessing that his son should be a Torah scholar and G-d-fearing. The Rav said that he will be a Torah scholar
based on how much you learn with him, and he will be G-d-fearing based on how
many tears his mother sheds during Davening for him. Minchat Todah p. 89).
Wife's Faithfulness
Q: After marital tensions, I
went to someone and he claimed that he received a message from heaven that my
wife cheated on me. What should I do?
A: Immediately break any
connection with that person, go with your wife to a marriage counselor.
