This article describes R. Binyamin Margoliot "distributing Bitachon" [trust in G-d]. R. Margoliot uses words and phrases from the Tanakh, seemingly magically, to reveal things he cannot possibly know. He is described as talking to a group of people he does not know. He says to one -- open the Tanakh and the first word on the page will be your grandfather's name --and it was. Then he told someone else to ask a question and then to open the Tanakh, turn 18 pages and on the fourth line you will find the answer. The answer [in Hebrew] was you will succeed in all your deeds.
The Rabbi said not to call this magic or charms...R. Margoliot said just to trust in Hashem and go in the paths of our ancestors. |
