Question
A friend of mine has moved into a new home and wishes to call in a Feng Shui specialist to make sure the lay out of the house is appropriate. Is this halachically acceptable?
Answer
I've attempted to research this. Thus far I can only conclude that Feng Shui
is a pagan philosophy, and thus would be inappropriate for the planning of a
Jewish home.
If you want to explain Feng Shui further to me, I'd be delighted to rethink
my position.
In planning a Jewish home, there is a mezuzah for the proper doorposts, a Jewish
library, Jewish ritual items, etc. that do speak to the issue of building a
Jewish home.
Best Wishes,
