Invalid Ketubah
Q: Is it possible that we do
not have Shalom Bayit and do not have children because we have an invalid
Ketubah?
A: There is no ancient source
for this. It is necessary, however to
have a Kosher Ketubah according to the Halachah (see Shut Mishneh Halachot
14:86).
Interlaced Hands
Q: Do interlaced hands impede
the abundance of luck descending onto a person?
A: Nonsense. There are some who refrain from interlacing
fingers based on Kabbalah. Zohar,
Vayikra 24:1. But this is not found in
the Halachah. According to the
Halahchah, one should refrain from interlacing their fingers during the
Shemoneh Esrei. Taz, Orach Chaim 95:1.
Aruch Ha-Shulchan ibid. #7 (and see Ta'amei Ha-Minhagim, Likutim #24. Ben Ish Chai, Pinchas #18. Kaf Ha-Chaim, Orach Chaim 91:28. Shemirat Ha-Guf Ve-H-Nefesh 78:1. Piskei Teshuvot 95:5. And see Ha-Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv who interlaced
his fingers when meeting with the Tzanz-Klausenberger Rebbe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dKkwC2YiOw).
Groom's Challah
Q: What is the source that it
is a Segulah for finding a match if one eats from the Challah on which a groom
recites the blessing?
A: There is no source.
Segulah for a Happy Marriage
Q: Baruch Hashem, I am
getting married. Is there a Segulah for
a happy marriage?
A: To repent and learn
Mesilat Yesharim (And so too Ha-Rav Ben Tzion Mutzafi in Shut Doresh Tzion: To
completely repent and establish fixed times for Torah learning after the
wedding).
