An anonymous person sent the following to Hamodia newspaper:
I would like to share with your readers something that happened to me that I hope will happen to others as well.
Two years ago, in a letter to the editor of the Hebrew daily Hamodia, a yungerman wrote that after being married a few years without being blessed with children, he had gone to his Rebbe for a brachah. His Rebbe recommended that he learn the inyan of Yetzias Mitzrayim in Sefer Ohr Hachaim after the Seder.
The yungerman was blessed with a child that same year and shared the good news with Hamodia’s readers.
My parents saw this letter and, since I too needed a yeshuah, they recommended that I try the segulah. After the Seder, I opened the Ohr Hachaim to Parashas Bo, where the words V’higadeta l’vincha jumped out at me.
Studying the Ohr Hachaim, I saw that the mechaber explained that if a person doesn’t have a son, he is patur from this tzivui. However, the holy Ohr Hachaim adds that if a person delves into this inyan, he will merit fulfilling the mitzvah with his own son.
I was overwhelmed when I read this and promised myself that if this segulah worked for me, I would publicize it. Baruch Hashem, the Ohr Hachaim Hakadosh’s brachah was fulfilled for us this year.
I hope whoever needs a yeshuah will follow this segulah and also be zocheh to be mekayem this mitzvah of v’higadeta l’vincha.
Whoever is in need of the brocha of children should be blessed with children right away!! Good healthy children!!!!
BS”D Hope none of you naysayers put a key in your chally this Shabbos, Good Shabbos
There is no ‘scientific’ proof that the segulah worked, or that it works in most cases. Otherwise, why all the infertility treatments and clinics?
We’re discussing here the notion of learning “the inyan of Yetzias Mitzrayim in Sefer Ohr Hachaim after the Seder” Who decided to name doing such a thing a segula? Are the critics here who did name it so and or said “that’s not for us” so insecure that ANYTHING said by ANYONE other than the Rebbe is not to be done? Is it uncomfortable to hear that a rabbi (other than the Rebbe) suggested someone do something and that thing resolved an issue? When the rebbe says to learn shitas, or rambam or check tefillin or light candles or learn… Read more »
A friend of mine was infertile and when she was visiting Eretz yisroel, she happened to be near a Tzaddik or someone introduced her to a Tzaddik who told her what to do to have a child.
Being that she was a Lubavitcher, when she returned to USA she asked the Rebbe, if she should do that and the Rebbe said yes.
And she was blessed with children.
but we do know that segulas are nothing to sneeze at either
l used a holistict nuturitionist that got her degree from lsrae, many people in crown height uses her, anyone intereted can contct me, scmaness
@gmail.com just for the recorded. l have contacted all the jewish org that helps people have children, truthfully they do not care, it’s cheaper and less invasive, all the best
Learning Torah is good anytime
Somme people say “dont learn Daf yomi becauase was not the Rebbes Inyan” ( BTW ,these people don’t learn anything)
Learn this Orach Chaym anytime, and you are going to have a Child!!
To do or not to do Segulas is another question.
Many Segulas were given by a Tzaddik for a specific person as a channel at a particular time.
Here someone is being told to learn something not to do something crazy… How can someone go wrong with learning a Sefer?
Please keep your opinion to yourself (I don’t know YOUR
situation). Hashem is who decides what good deeds will
bring the blessing. The Rebbe does teach us that Amalek
tried to make things cold. May Hashem help all those who
are in need of Blessings in a quick and easy way.
MOSHE said to the Yidden – after they were begging for the SHCHINAH to reuturn to them – My brother AHARON will make it happen etc.Even though it is still through MOSHE.
Similar The REBBE said that each and everyone of US (אנשים ,נשים וטף) can bring MOSHIACH with one Mitzvoh.
Nowhere in Chabad sources does it say that one may not receive a bracha from another tzaddik. There are two issues with such segulos: 1) The objection in Chabad to segulos is to shortcuts, since Chassidus calls for total submission to Hashem. Great chassidim avoided even mofsim and segulos (shirayim) associated with their own Rebbe. However, one who isn’t on the level to submit completely, may practice these genuine segulos. The fact is that most of anash today practice Lubavitch “segulos” to achieve personal success. (The Rebbe once said that he is giving out dollars since anash are attracted to… Read more »
So much agree with you.
Brochos come only from HaShem, through any Tzadikim.
And we have a mitzvah to respect them all.
BS”D some of you should be ashamed are you telling the author that although it worked you should have not used this segulah, wonder if the situation was reversed and you were told to do this and you would be Blessed with children and the you would respond no it is not for me, doubtful, and how do you compare R’ Klezker not wanting to switch Rebbe’s to this, how does one have the gall to posken on someone else’s cheshbon
I believe I once heard that R Nissan Nemenov said when his son was sick and a certain tzaddik (I think the Baba Sali was coming to town so it was suggested to him to go ask for a brocho, and he responded “leb’n vos is nisht fun rebbe’n is nisht leben”
It isn’t written in ספר המנהגים
That’s the Rebbe’s response
The Ohr HaChayim is brought down many times in Toras hachassidus, and the Rebbe when presenting an Ohr haChayim added the suffix haKadosh. i can’t see where you can go wrong. See Reshimos as well!
For those that will try it, perhaps they can try it on Pesach sheini – since this was printed after Pesach.
If you are asking sincerely, I will answer you. As chasidim we believe that there is one channel of blessing for us. As R’ Binyamin Kletzker told R’ Aharon Karliner: “Pan to pan no nye moi; chlopetz to chlopetz no nye tvoi.” (the master is a master but not mine; the servant is a servant but not yours.)
1. Exempt from this commandment
2. To fulfill the mitzvah of “and you shall tell your son” (the story of Exodus)
It’s a Bracha from a tzaddik how can it not be for us?
Forgive my limited background:
What’s ” patur from this tzivui”?
Also, what does “be mekayem this mitzvah of v’higadeta l’vincha” mean?
MANY THANKS!
I am assuming that most readers of this site are Chabad. The Rebbe was not a big promoter of segulos. Also, the ohr hachayim’s brocha is a beautiful thing, but we have a Rebbe. I’m not saying that this particular segula doesn’t work or that there’s anything wrong at all with doing it. I’m saying that it’s not for us.
Article title should say “hashem gave us a child in merit of this segulah” not “segulah gave us a child”
