A Segula Against Troubles from the Prophet Micah

A Segula Against Troubles, the Evil Eye, and Witchcraft from Rabbi Sasson Mizrahi, a Mekubal and student of Rabbi Yehuda Fetaya

One day, a Jew came to the Mekubal's home and anxiously declared that a terrible calamity was about to befall him. Rav Sasson Mizrahi said to him: “Recite the 13 Attributes of Mercy from the Prophet Micah three times every day, and no calamity will befall you.” Other Mekubalim add that it is beneficial to go for three consecutive days to a body of water (a river, lake, pond, or sea) and, while reciting the 13 Attributes of Ha-Shem, shake the problem from your pockets into the water, as we do during Tashlich. Rav Sasson Mizrahi always added that all segulot should be performed only after repentance and good deeds. [Upon reaching the body of water, recite the passage from the Book of the Prophet Micah]   Prayer מִי אֵל כָּמוֹךָ נֹשֵֹא עָוֹן וְעֹבֵר עַל פֶּשַׁע לִשְׁאֵרִית נַחֲלָתוֹ לֹא הֶחֱזִיק לָעַד אַפּוֹ כִּי חָפֵץ חֶסֶד הוּא: יָשׁוּב יְרַחֲמֵנוּ יִכְבּשׁ עֲוֹנֹתֵינוּ וְתַשְׁלִיךְ בִּמְצוּלוֹת יָם כָּל חַטֹּאתָם. וְכָל חַטֹּאת עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְֹרָאֵל תַּשְׁלִיךְ בִּמְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִזָּכְרוּ וְלֹא יִפָּקְדוּ וְלֹא יַעֲלוּ עַל לֵב לְעוֹלָם: תִּתֵּן אֱמֶת לְיַעֲקֹב חֶסֶד לְאַבְרָהָם אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לַאֲבֹתֵינוּ מִימֵי קֶדֶם [it is preferable to extend the fingers—according to Kabbalah, the action of counting strengthens the prayer]   1. Mi El kamokha (Who is like You?) 2. Nosei avon (G-d, Who forgives iniquity) 3. Ve-over al pesha (and pardons transgression)  4. L'she'erit nachalato (the remnant of His inheritance) 5. Lo hehezik la'ad apo (He does not retain His anger forever) 6. Ki chafetz chesed hu (for He delights in kindness) 7. Yashuv yerachameinu (He will again have compassion on us) 8. Yikhbosh avonoteinu (He will subdue our iniquities) [here, while shaking out your pockets, envision ridding yourself of all sins and the problems they caused] 9. Ve-tashlich bimtzulot yam kol chatotam. Ve-khol chatot amekha beit Yisrael, tashlich bimkom asher lo yizakheru, ve-lo yipakdu, ve-lo ya'alu al lev le'olam (And cast all our sins into the depths of the sea! And cast all the sins of Your people, the House of Israel, into a place where they will not be remembered, taken account of, or ever come to mind) 10. Titen emet le-Yaakov (Grant truth to Jacob) 11. Chesed le-Avraham (kindness to Abraham) 12. Asher nishbata la-avoteinu (which You swore to our forefathers) 13. Mimei kedem (from the days of old).     (A Segula of the Sage Rabbi Sasson Mizrahi)  7 нисана йорцайт илула рабби сасон мизр
