The Ari HaKadosh's Segulah for the Rebuilding of the Temple and P'tihat Mazal

The Ari HaKadosh's Segulah for the Rebuilding of the Temple and P'tihat Mazal

The Gaon HaRav Yanuka (Rabbi Shlomo Yehuda Be'eri) shares a very interesting segulah of the Ari HaKadosh (may his merit protect us) connected with the rebuilding of the Temple. If a person feels that his mazal is blocked or that he is constantly beset by problems, he should make use of this powerful segulah for P'tihat Mazal (opening one's mazal). Take a small stone and place it under your pillow or mattress, saying the following words: “This stone is a remembrance of the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash.” Then pray for the rebuilding of the Temple. It is especially appropriate to recite the following Tehillim: Tehillim 137 – “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat…” Tehillim 125:1 – “A Song of Ascents. Those who trust in HaShem are like Mount Zion…” Tehillim 102:14 – “You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to favor her, for the appointed time has arrived…” Before going to sleep, ask Hashem to build the new Beit HaMikdash as soon as possible and remove all decrees from us, directing your kavanah toward the idea that this stone is like a korban. The Gaon Yanuka says that when a person prays in this world for the rebuilding of the Temple, Heaven opens his mazal. May Am Yisrael merit seeing the Third Temple very soon!   [The photograph shows a work by Lyudmila Miriam Shulman, provided to our website] (Based on a lesson by the Gaon HaRav Shlomo Yehuda Be'eri – HaYanuka)
