Dear California Astrology Association,
I would like to thank you so much for all your wonderful help with the car. You see, I needed three thousand dollars by Monday to keep my car; otherwise the bank would repossess it and I'd have no way to drive around. I decided to get a money spell cast for me, and amazingly enough, it worked! Just three days after you cast the money spell my great uncle died in a car crash, and he left me three thousand dollars in his will! It's so convenient, because now I still have a car to drive to his funeral! Once again, thanks so much,
Patty

Dear California Astrology Association,
One year ago my boyfriend dumped me, and I've been despondent ever since. I emailed your witch Andreika, and she promised to help me. Two weeks after that I received a phone call from my former boyfriend's mother, telling me that he was dying in a hospital, and could I come and see him? I realized that this was the moment I'd been waiting for, and I rushed down to the hospital to see him. As soon as I stepped into his room I knew that something powerful was happening, and I was determined to fulfill my mission. I knelt down by his bed, placed my hand in his hand, and he said, "Jane". Then he died. His mother said that she was happy that he had died happy and fulfilled. I too feel happy and fulfilled now, knowing that he died happy and fulfilled.
Sincerely,
Jane

Dear California Astrology Association,
I never believed in astrology, or magic, or anything like that, but then I saw Harry Potter and I decided to try it out for myself. I was so disappointed that I couldn't attend Hogwarts, but I bought your kit and used it. Heeding its warning to only use the kit in the direst of emergencies, I saved it until I really needed it-I was so thirsty that day, you wouldn't believe, and there was no water available in the whole building! I used the Witch Doctor Spell Kit, and within minuted a repairman came! It was incredible! Once again, thanks so much,
Georgiana

No men writing in?
That's for the next installment.
are these testimonials from their site?
They're fake, but they're not too different from the real ones. I was trying to parody them, but they're so ridiculous already...
And I was actually eyeing that water repair service assist kit =\
Maskil wanna hat tip!
all right.
It’s because of organizations like this that there are quotes from Yoshka in US soldiers’ crosshairs.
tRP, try haircut spell. Or just a haircut.

There are quotes from Yoshka in US soldiers' crosshairs?
Huh?
Indeed.
Huh what?
Re: men in the next installment. How come in Lubavitch shulls they do women and men together for misheberach, and in Ashkenazi shulls they do men first?
That's nuts.
Who said they do this in Lubavitch shuls? Perhaps you're davening in modern orthodox synagogues...
Who dress up as Lubavitchers, follow nusach Arizal, and don’t wash for seuda shlishis as a form of reenactment?
Actually, the shull in which this happened (men first) was MO. Actually, MO/Conservative. The mechitza was for newborn hobbits, and the rabbi’s dvar Torah mentioned how Moshe Rabbeinu was not allowed to enter E"Y because he was an impatient leader.
It may be nuts, but I want Israeli government to do something like this. 12 Psukim in Israeli crosshairs? Or maybe “pour your wrath onto the nations”. Sounds good to me.
Often times the fakers play it better than the real guys.
Where I come from, men and women are kept in separate lock boxes and are only allowed to mingle on Yom Kippur.
Really? I thought it was because he didn't want to leave the generation of the desert in the desert.
Then what makes them fakers?
But who manages the boxes and the locks? Eunuchs?
Excuses, excuses... According to the rabbi, Moshe Rabbeinu was "here and now" kind of guy.
The fact that they mix the men and the women.
No, impeccably reputable people. (like me)
Just like there's seventy faces...
So, they fake everything except the most important part?
Where you come from, the most reputable people work as jailors? In Russia it's the opposite: the most reputable people are in jail.
...there are also seventy behinds?
Bingo.
I work as a tailor?
Bingo.
You work as a tailor?
My great-grandfather was a tailor. The one from Shpola, I think.
You implied that I did.
Probably make more money than your making now...
I implied you worked as a jailor, not a tailor.
Doesn't take much, does it?
The only question is: does this prove Intelligent Design or chaotic evolution?
Oh. A jailor. Yes.
True.
Both.
Minhag in MO shuls is women first. I always it was because most gabbaim are married and think that all women are sick in the head.
Which is worse, to have men and women together or to have women go first? The first is a problem of tznius, the second a problem of hashkafa.
Who's hashkafa?
In the local MO minyan I attend (not the one I talked about above), the gabbai says misheberach, pauses, and everyone whispers in the name of the sick person.
Why is mentioning women and men together untznius? You still have old Russian ladies peeking from behind mechitza and shouting their lists of twenty names, which the gabbai always misunderstands.
Modeh: G-d's.
CA: Do they get better?
The least indication of co-mingling of the sexes could have the most disastrous outcome.
Having old Russian women in shul is very not tznius.
Do they get better in which case?
Our Rebbeim have had old Russian ladies in the shull since Baal Shem Tov.
and you don't want to hear this but according to certain historians some of the earlier "chagas" chasidim did away with mechitza long before Reform even existed.
When the people say it themselves.
770 is filled with untoward happenings...
Nu, who said anything positive about chagas?
I have no idea. They also say prayer for Israeli government, Israeli armed forces, US government, US armed forces and peace in all world, but it's not clear how much they benefit from the prayers. Perhaps if they stopped davening and raised mechitza height, things would actually go better.
And there isn't even any mingling between sexes.
MBM: yeah, I didn't get your point either. You're preaching to the choir here.
That's too obvious a solution. Words are cheap.
(snort)
I think we can make MO mechitza higher. Since by definition MO is a balance between frum Yiddishkeit and Conservative Judaism, if we convince one of them to raise mechitza even higher, MO shulls will automatically do so too.
That's like saying, "If pigs grow fins and scales, then they'll be kosher!"
also, I don't mind one spam comment, but two with the exact same comment on the same post? Ridiculous.
But all I am asking for is a taller mechitza for Chareidi shulls. That should be possible. Chareidim love to add chumras.
Oh, I get what you're saying now. Hmm. Yeah, that might work, though it might be a little difficult to put bricks in front of the women's balcony.
Haha. This post became funny after i found out that they were fake. Before I was busy thinking about how crazy these people are and how the astrologers/witches pull off these tricks and whether paranormal phenomena prove that there's a god in the world.
MBM: From whence did you acquire this piece of intelligence? Which historians? I find it hard to believe.
Yes, if it was true then it would just be sad.
Modeh: I was wondering the same thing.
Graetz among others.
Sources?
