Prayer Concerning the Rosh Chodesh Offerings

Prayer Concerning the Offerings — A Segula for Conception on Rosh Chodesh

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov recommended a very powerful segula for conception: reading the passage about the offerings from Parashat Pinchas (28:11) in Bamidbar. Segulot 1. For a woman to conceive — husband and wife should read this passage together. 2. In the event of a child's illness (chas v'shalom). 3. To attract a good and long life. Prayer “U'verashei chodsheichem takrivu olah la-Adonai, parim benei-vakar shenayim ve'ayil echad, kevasim benei-shanah shiv'ah temimim. U'sheloshah esronim solet minchah belulah va-shemen la-par ha-echad, u'shnei esronim solet minchah belulah va-shemen la-ayil ha-echad. Ve'isaron isaron solet minchah belulah va-shemen la-keves ha-echad olah rei'ach nichoach isheh la-Adonai. Ve-niskeihem, chatzi ha-hin yihyeh la-par u'shelishit ha-hin la-ayil u'revi'it ha-hin la-keves yayin zot olat chodesh bechodsho lechodshei hashanah. U'se'ir izim echad lechatat la-Adonai al olat hatamid ye'aseh ve-nisko.” Translation On your New Moons, you shall bring a burnt offering to G-d: 2 young bulls, 1 ram, and 7 yearling lambs without blemish. 3/10 of an ephah of fine flour mixed with olive oil, a meal offering for 1 bull, 2/10 of an ephah of fine flour mixed with olive oil, a meal offering for 1 ram, 1/10 of an ephah of fine flour mixed with olive oil, a meal offering for 1 lamb — this is a burnt offering, a pleasing fragrance to G-d. And the libations accompanying the offerings: 1/2 hin of wine for a bull, 1/3 hin of wine for a ram, 1/4 hin of wine for a lamb — this is the burnt offering for every New Moon throughout the year. And one goat as a sin offering to G-d; in addition to the regular burnt offering, it shall be offered with its libation.
