So far as Judaism goes....any superstitions would be found within the Kaballah...I'm not necessarily sure that they're superstitions (is it superstitious if it's true?), but simply certain things that create certain affects...


And why should there be any problem with it? Every action has an equal land opposite reaction, or in other words, everything we do has a consequence...That could possibly mean that if we spill over some salt maybe something bad will happen. The fact that we don't value the nature of certain superstitions doesn't mean that they are any less valid...

I swear never to be silent whenever wherever human beings are enduring suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe.
