“Mazal tov” is not “good luck”

About this Class

The Torah tells us not to pay attention to astrological influences, but it also tells us that Adar is a month full of “mazal” (good fortune). How do we reconcile these concepts?

Interesting
I was interested in this because of the astrological information in it. I don't adhere to astrology but my daughter does and I will share this with her. I understood the jist of what she was saying but still feel like it is a mixed message. Either we look to astrology or we don't ... in my opinion. I don't look to it because I look to the source of all knowledge and control from Elohim our God. I appreciate the way she pointed this out.
Thank you,

The Month Of Adar
Thank you Shimona Tzukernik for such a wonderful teaching. I really needed it. At 65 I am learning to find myself after so many years of travail. But, must say, Hashem, blessed be He, is so good. It is never too late when we seek His presence, as He promised. Now I need to go into that self within me to find that power so that I can perform what my King has designed for me in this world. The transformation you speak of is near, I can feel it. Many changes have already taken place. Thank you and many blessings to you and yours.
