I use my Urim and Thurim. I got them from an e-mail offer that

The Urim and Thumim were located in the choshen (breastplate) of the

gadol. They're mentioned in the torah. I doubt that Dan was able to

I have actually found the Ark of the Covenant in a thrift store. Twice.
The first one was a little yellow plastic toy for which I can find no
origin, and the 2nd time, it was a plaster-of-Paris mold that I just
might use for chocolate....
