Can she remove all those rebbe molesters from our midst? if not she is worthless.

She can remove unwanted cash from your wallet.

Proof that the god of the bible does not exist.
Otherwise she would "poof" - be up in smoke from a lightning bolt.
Obviously the real god likes this kind of stuff.
Or,... we could be interpreting the bible incorrectly - maybe there is room for an alternate religion here.

Hey, she is supporting family who learns Torah. Cut her some slack.
She might not be able to stop molesters, but she might have a segulah to keep them away from your child. It might be worth a visit.

1 - "Letter of Recommendation from Rav Scheinberg." Does it say in this ad that "Rav Scheinberg" was a relative of hers? The guy was probably forced by one of his relatives to give her a letter of recommendation "because she needs the parnasa." And what about all the other poor people who are being duped out of their hard earned money by false promises?
2 - I'm surprised she hasn't yet died of lead poisoning from her "Blei Gissne" lead pouring pagan ritual, adopted by ignorant Russian Jewish peasants in the form of a "segula" which is now believed to have "holy powers" by superstitious Kabbalah believers.

According to Halacha, aren't those practising witchcraft meant to be put to death?

A psychological, philosophical and ethical question for those FM-ers able to handle the brain work.
Is false hope better than no hope at all?
Some say false hope is better than no hope at all because it helps a person function and get through what they need to get through in the moment.
Others say that if the false hope is based on an untruth, then even if it's helpful, it is a terrible thing.
What do you think?

One SURE way to keep a rebbe molestor away from your kid is to have rebbe molestor touch your arm pit area and feel the presence of an IRON object
and say "Rabbi guess what that hunk of iron is" ha ha

Apologies to the Eagles (Witchy Woman):
Covered hair and lying lips
Sparks fly if you don't leave a tip
Worried voices in the night
She's a rip-off artist on an endless flight
Chorus:
Oy vey, witchy rebbetzin, see how high her fees
Oy vey, witchy rebbetizin, she got the frum on their knees
She held my cash bond in the night (wooooh)
No mixed dancing and Shabbos lights
Crazy laughter from her rabbi groom
and she drove herself meshugeh... with my silver spoon
Chorus
(Vocalizing)(Oy)
Well I know you want a shidduch,
Let me tell your Yidlach,
she's been sleeping in the rabbi's bed.
There's loshon harah going round
No match will be found [for your shidduch]
She can scam you all of the time 'til you gei in dred
Chorus

@Abracadabra – Speaking only for myself of course, I will take truth over false hopes any day. I go with what Albert Einstein wrote in 1954
“For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions.”
To me, all religions are based on offering false hopes to make getting through life easier and dealing with the fear of death. In reality the universe is simply cold and indifferent to our welfare. I cannot find any evidence of the benevolent father in the sky who chose one desert tribe as his favorite people. I cannot do what the Haredim can do so easily – turn off the faculty of reason, ignore or deny the facts of science and history, and just live by faith.

Bleigießen?! You're better off downloading either the Android app or the iOS app (free! called New Year's Oracle 2014) than to pay her for this Roman custom. It's a whole lot cheaper and probably just as accurate.

Allan - Thank you for your thoughtful answer.
"To me, all religions are based on offering false hopes to make getting through life easier and dealing with the fear of death"
Personally, I'm on the fence about this. I'm just not sure. People use drugs and alcohol to escape the pain of life and death. Done in moderation, marijuana is now legal in Colorado, and alcohol is legal for everyone except children. People use all kinds of things to "escape." Movies and novels remove one's mind from their present reality into a fictional story. Maybe using false hope for "getting through life easier" and "dealing with the fear of death" is not as bad as those other ways of escaping, coping, dealing with it all.
Of course when one "loses oneself" in a book they come back to reality easily. Ditto for the morning after drinking and using drugs. But it's just an example of how people use lots of different ways of "getting through life easier." Why is believing in a God, Heaven, fortune tellers, crystal ball readers, Ayin Hara removers and Kabbalists any less valid a way of muddling through life's difficulties?
That is my current thought, and why I'm on the fence about it.
An (extreme) example is prisoners of war or hostages. If they believe that they will be saved, they have a better chance of surviving because their stamina is affected by not being depressed. If they have hope, even if it's false hope, they live longer and have a better quality of life. If every day they are convinced that THIS is the day that they will be saved, because they believe that the tooth fairy told them so in a dream, their attitude, even while based on false hope, still fuels their hope and raises their chances of surviving (so that if they ever ARE saved, they will still be alive to enjoy their freedom).
OTOH, if they believe that they will never be saved, that their country does not negotiate with terrorists, or that they were forgotten and that nobody even knows they are there, their chances of making it are lessened, their chances of getting depressed and getting sick are raised.
In such a case, is it better to be alive and deluded by a false hope, or to be a "realist" and die young or get sick and not even live long enough to find out if someone ever will save them?
Is it a good comparison to our lives here on Earth? Who knows. But it seems similar to me. Religion is like hope in that example - it's a good way for humans to convince ourselves that there is built-in meaning to our lives, that life continues on after we die, that someone guides the universe, that we are not simply random evolutionary mutations. And if by "knowing" those things we are more likely to be able to cope with life's difficulties which inevitably come our way, and therefore we can live longer and be less depressed and have a better quality of life, then maybe false hope is not all that bad after all.

I would NEVER think of dissing the wise and all knowing Magic 8 Ball!! Especially after all the successful shidduchim the Magic 8 Ball has made!! :P
Posted by: Abracadabra | January 31, 2014 at 09:58 AM
YL - Are you still single? If so, I've got a great, nice Jewish girl for you. (But of course the Magic 8 Ball would need to approve of the shidduch.)
Posted by: Abracadabra | January 31, 2014 at 10:02 AM
Well i did this like 4 years ago and it really does help .I am very skeptical by nature but something really happened.I asked her to do this for my wife also and while she was doing this my wife called me at work,something she rarely if never does.Also I believe the negative things she took off me came back within the week.Also the main reason I called was for a change of work which she couldnt or didnt do any thing about.She also told me a simcha was coming up which she was right about.
Posted by: jonkamm624 | January 31, 2014 at 10:16 AM
Abra: Thanks, but I am in a long-term relationship with a beautiful woman. How I got that lucky, I'll never know. Maybe the 8 Ball has favored me.

She is expert in "Blei Gissen", aka the pouring to lead. The ancient Greeks called this "melybdomancy", or divining by lead. The practitioner takes a lead ball, melts it, throws it into a bowl of cold water and divines, based on the shape which solidifies. AKA witchcraft and fortune-telling scam.
Posted by: R Nash | January 31, 2014 at 12:35 PM
@jonkamm624,
....I asked her to do this for my wife also and while she was doing this my wife called me at work,something she rarely if never does...
You really did this @ work?! I hope that you don't work @ an oil refinery, the gas company, or pump gasoline.
I'd cringe if I'd see a fellow co-worker at work having this lady do her Bleigießen thing.
I mean, what's Deut. 18:10 all about anyways if not this?
