In this July 11, 2011 photo, a man kisses the hand of Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto, center, as he attends a wedding in Lod, central Israel. People, including some of Israel's wealthiest and most powerful, come seeking Pinto's blessing or his counsel on their business deals and personal lives. The veneration and consulting of miracle rabbis has a long history in Judaism, existing uncomfortably alongside a deeply rooted rationalist tradition.

The U.S. economy, Pinto predicted in an aside, "is on its way up." Let's hope the Rabbi is correct. Surely, things must improve sometime.
