Is It Truly Considered a Good Omen if a Dove Poops on a Person?
Question
Hello,
Is it really true that it is a good sign when a dove poops on a person?
Thank you
Answer
Hello,
There is no source that this is a good sign; rather, it is beneficial for atonement of sins like any other suffering that comes to a person (see Tractate Erchin 16b regarding the purpose of suffering, etc.).
Sincerely,
Hillel Meirs
