The Segula of Parashat HaMan is a fascinating practice that intertwines faith, tradition, and halacha. Parashat HaMan recounts the miracle of manna, through which God sustained the Israelites in the desert. It is considered a segula (spiritual remedy) for sustenance and trust in Divine providence.
Blessing:
The daily recitation of Parashat HaMan serves as a reminder to strengthen one’s faith that all livelihood comes from God’s providence. It reinforces trust in Divine care and the power of prayer and Torah study.
Sources and Significance:
• In the Jerusalem Talmud, it is written: “Anyone who recites Parashat HaMan daily is assured that their sustenance will not diminish.”
• The Shulchan Aruch emphasizes this practice, explaining that it fosters belief that all sustenance is provided through God’s supervision.
Features:
Many people make an effort to recite Parashat HaMan daily, especially on the Tuesday of the week when Parashat Beshalach is read. This custom is rooted in the teachings of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimanov, a disciple of Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk.
Ideal for:
Reciting Parashat HaMan, especially on the Tuesday of Parashat Beshalach, is thus an opportunity to deepen one’s connection to faith and remember that all blessings and provision come from God’s personal care.
