  1. Regarding the segulah post I have a great segulah. I really needed to rent a car and normally they don't give me a problem, even though I am an oleh and don't have an Israeli licence but a foreign one. I am nervous however, and this time they actually said it would be a problem and the people in the car rental started having a discussion. Meanwhile I "did" my segulah and magically they let me have the car this time, and reccomended I get aan Israeli licence. What was the magic segulah? Pledging money to tzedakah X? Something more mystical? No. Something very simple. Davening. And thinking אין עוד למבדו and that Hashem is in control.
