I then googled to find out something about him, and found this piece.<br /><br />http://parsha.blogspot.com/2011/06/inventor-of-segulah-ring-reb-yoel-baal.html<br /><br />I wonder why R' Shternbuch is apparently taken by this concept?<br /><br />Also what about the Issur of Lo Yilbash?

====================...<b>Should Jews Wear Red Strings?</b><br />=============================<br /><br />This message is condensed from an article by Rabbi Ahron Lopiansky from <i>LIFESTYLE</i> Magazine, September 2004:<br /><br />=============================<br />There is absolutely no genuine Kabbalistic source for wearing a red thread around the wrist to ward off the Evil Eye. It is NOT mentioned in any Kabbalistic work.<br /><br />The Debrecyzner <i>Rav</i> mentions it, but his extensive search could NOT find a written source for the practice.<br /><br />The <i>Tosefta</i> on tractate <i>Shabbat</i>, chapters 7:1 and 8:4 state that tying a red string around oneself is clearly PROHIBITED. <br /><br />It is called <i>Darchei Emori</i>, a worthless, superstitious practice, close to idol-worship.<br /><br />=============================<br />Want quick Torah quotes for your <i>Shabbat</i> table?<br /><br />Or simply for love of Torah any time?<br /><br />To receive quick easy Torah quotes from a variety of classic Jewish Torah books, please go to:<br /><b><br />http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DerechEmet/<br /></b><br />Quick Torah quotes include: Babylonian Talmud, Jerusalem Talmud, <i>Midrash Tanchuma, Midrash Rabah, Tanna DeBei Eliyahu, Rashi, Rambam, Ramban, Shulchan Aruch, Mishnah Berurah, Pele Yoetz, Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer, Kav HaYashar, Shaarei Teshuvah, Sefer Chasidim, Sefer Charedim, Midrash Mishlei</i>.<br /><br />For Jews ONLY!

Are you trying to wrap everything you do around him to appear you are some sort of close gabbai of his and have his approval for your unrelated actions and posts? Or does Rav Shternbuch request that you publish on the internet reports about him such as this one?Baruch Spielbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-87357440022152729622011-06-22T20:26:08.020+03:002011-06-22T20:26:08.020+03:00It's in Kav Yashar and avodas hakodeshIt's in Kav Yashar and avodas hakodeshDavidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-89435856500272063882011-06-22T16:15:28.828+03:002011-06-22T16:15:28.828+03:00Which seforim kedoshim?
