Channel 12 journalist Yollan Cohen wrote on Sunday about an incident that happened to her that portrayed the power of tefillah. “Five years ago, I lost a bracelet that’s very precious to me, that my parents bought me with their hard-earned money,” she wrote. “Yesterday, during a family visit, my mother and I recited a tefillah for finding a lost object (to find a different object) and now, five years afterward, I received a surprising phone call from friends, that my bracelet was found in the bushes in Neve Ilan.” “I don’t know about you but I was moved.” Sadly, Cohen received many cynical responses questioning her belief in tefillah. She responded by writing: “In the wake of criticism that I believe in tefillot and segulot – I’m always surprised by those who call for pluralism but dismiss and ridicule views that are different from theirs.” “So yes, I’m a proud mezuzah kisser and you’ll be surprised to hear that there are many like me, and they’re also educated, enlightened, and even liberal.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
