Prayer and Fraudulent Rabbis

Question

I’ve been encouraged to speak to a Rabbi who charges $299 for a talisman necklace. Can I not get help without having to pay money and do some weird magical prayer service? Please – I need an honest answer.

Answer

The Rabbi sounds like a fraud to me. The best advice I can give is to pray to the Almighty. G-d is above all other powers in the world, He’s always available, All Powerful, and He doesn’t charge $299.00. In fact, He wants you to connect with Him so much that HE’LL PAY YOU with the greatest gifts possible, like a life of meaning, health, wealth – you name it!

Wishing you well in all your pursuits and challenges,
