The Rebbetzin sees clearly, as always.
There is a story (my grandfather attributed it to the Kotzker, but I have not found it in any collection) about a man who bought three clocks. He put one in his home, one in his shop, and one in the synagogue.
After a year, all three showed different times. He asked the clockmaker: "Which one is correct?"
The clockmaker said: "The one you trust."
The man said: "But they all come from you!"
The clockmaker said: "The clocks came from me. The trust must come from you."
Whether you trust stars or dogs or markets or shamashim — the choice is yours. The specification cannot make it for you.
