Segulot and Prayers for Each Day of the Week

 

Sunday – Yom Rishon

1. Prayer – “Perek Shirah” Perek Shira - Shirat HaBriah (Song of Creation)

Monday – Yom Sheni

1. Prayer – “Maaseh HaNissim” (the miracles of Eliyahu HaNavi and Elisha HaNavi); Ma'aseh HaNissim — Miracles of Eliyahu HaNavi and Elisha HaNavi 2. Tehillim 94 on Yom Sheni – for victory over one's enemies  Tehillim 94 on Yom Sheni – the day the waters were divided, the day of the emergence of machloket (dispute) – face northeast. Recite the psalm with kavanah for the Holy Name (look at it—do not pronounce it): אל קנא טוב       3. Segula – Chet LaChodesh (the eighth day of the month) Rabbi Yeshayahu Pinto conveys a segula from the great Mekubal Rabbi Eliyahu Mani: on special days when the eighth day of the month, “Chet LaChodesh”, falls on Yom Sheni (Monday) in the three months of Iyar, Elul, and Tevet, that day is “Kadosh, ve-Nora, ve-Adir meod-meod” (holy, awesome, and exceedingly powerful), and Hashem bestows extraordinary holiness and special blessings on that day. On such a day, before Mincha, one should recite “Akeidat Yitzchak” seven times, followed by Pitum HaKetoret three times.  

Tuesday – Yom Shlishi

1. Prayer – “Parashat Balak” "Parashat Balak" with introductory and concluding prayers according to the book "Korban Nataniel" by Rabbi Nataniel Weil 2. Segula: reciting “Parashat HaMann” (in the merit of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimanov); Parashat HaMan on Tuesday of the Weekly Torah Portion Beshalach - Segula of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimanov  

Wednesday – Yom Revi'i

1. Prayer – “Eizehu Mekoman” (all the sacrifices); “Eizehu Mekoman” – the chapter on sacrifices  

Thursday – Yom Chamishi

1. Prayer – “The 42 Journeys” 42 Encampments in the Wilderness — the Segula of Rabbi Shimshon of Ostropol 2. Segula for Tikkun HaTina (rectifying hurt and resentment), by the Mekubal Rabbi Mordechai Sharabi  The Mekubal Rabbi Mordechai Sharabi (alav ha-shalom) said repeatedly that if, for example, someone's “mitakev zivugo” (soulmate match) is delayed, it is likely because during his lifetime he hurt someone—this very fact prevents blessing from entering his life. To remove such a blockage, Rav Mordechai Sharabi gives a segula that is “baduk u-menuseh” (tested and proven). On Yom Chamishi (Thursday—the day the Torah is taken out), take a “ke'arat mayim” (bowl, preferably a new one) filled with water and place it by the door next to the mezuzah (on the mezuzah's side), while standing opposite it at the same door. More details here: Tikkun HaTina (Rectification of Offense) - Rav Mordechai Sharabi    

Friday – Yom Shishi

1. Prayer – “Shir HaShirim.” Friday evening—on Erev Shabbat, there is a great segula to pray using Shir HaShirim. Shir HaShirim on Erev Shabbat – Tikkun of Shlomo HaMelech According to the Sephardic Minhag   2. Spiderwebs A segula for removing spiderwebs for shalom bayit and relief from depression Cobweb Segulot: How to Relieve Headaches and Depression   3. Hafrashat Challah The Mishnah Berurah, the Ben Ish Chai in the name of the Arizal, and other Chazal explain in detail the significance of separating challah specifically on Friday: “Adam HaRishon, who was created on Friday, was called the ‘challah of the world.’ Because of the sin of the Etz HaDaat, Chavah spoiled this ‘challah dough’ on Friday. Women rectify this act through the mitzvah of hafrashat challah specifically on Friday—Erev Shabbat.” 30 Rare Segulot of Hafrashat Challah   4. Filling in the Letters of One's Name It is beneficial to perform the milui of one's name on Friday morning—for it was then that names were given to all living beings: Adam, Chavah, and the animals;   5. Segula against Ayin Hara Ben Ish Chai teaches that one should perform the following segula every Friday: take “ezov/za'atar”, add it to water, bring it to a boil, then allow it to cool and wash one's face, hands, and feet with the water—this removes ayin hara and helps with Tikkun HaBrit (together with repentance). The sin of the first man, who brought death into the world and with it every kind of negativity and misfortune, was committed on Friday. Therefore, cleansing oneself of all negativity—midah k'neged midah—takes place on Friday. 6. Segula for Parnassah – “BaMeh Madlikin” Gaon Yanuka shared a precious teaching: there is great merit in reciting during the day on Friday the second chapter of Mishnayot Shabbat, “BaMeh Madlikin” (“With what may one kindle, and with what may one not kindle”). Today, many people neglect this practice. But Rav Pinchas of Koretz, zichrono l'vracha, said: “One who does not recite ‘BaMeh Madlikin’ on Erev Shabbat will have no means of support throughout the week.”  The Mishnah “Bameh Madlikin” — A Segula for Livelihood on Friday Before Shabbat   7. Segula for Parnassah – reciting Parashat HaMann twice Gaon Yanuka once spoke about his weekly Friday practice of reciting Parashat HaMann twice. Since the Mann fell twice on Friday—once for Friday and once for Shabbat—it is beneficial to recite Parashat HaMann twice on Friday. Parashat HaMan in the format of "Shnayim Mikra ve-Echad Targum" - Aramaic   8. A Knife for Parnassah There is a segula to sharpen a knife specifically on Friday for the sake of Parnassah. 9. Tehillim 107 Before Shabbat The Mekubalim teach that one who recites Tehillim 107 before Shabbat performs a Tikkun for all the days of the week and rectifies his body, soul, and spirit.
