Talk:Yeshayah Steiner

You see his pic in various places with wording saying it is supposed to ward off mice. But I don't know if one of these pictures is enough of a citation. 206.181.86.98 (talk) 18:25, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Warding off mice
I think seeing people doing is certainly enough of a citation--I think it's nuts and rip it down when I see it, but see it I do, even in Los Angeles. Unless they do it as a joke? I guess we need to corner one of these people and find out. But in Los Angeles it's being done by people who I don't think have that kind of sense of humor. The history might be that way though--maybe it started as a joke and gullible Jews started doing it. Then again weirder things have happened--look at St. Patrick. I'd love to know more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.10.240.1 (talk) 22:35, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Some additional references for the 'mice' backstory. None of them are authoritative, but still may be useful.
