Segula of Rabbi Chaim Palagi Before Shabbat Shekalim

Segula Before Shabbat Shekalim

The segula attributed to the Mekubal Rabbi Chaim Palagi (may his merit shield us) is performed on Friday morning: take 39 shekels (rubles or dollars) in your right hand, open the Sefer Tehillim, and recite perek 39 while holding the money. Then have the kavanah that 26 shekels correspond to the four-letter Name of Ha-Shem, whose gematria is 26, and 13 shekels correspond to Rosh Chodesh Adar; and that the 39 shekels should protect one from the 39 (klalot) curses, enabling one to merit “tal techiyah” (the dew of resurrection). One should also pray for a personal request: shalom bayit (peace in the home), a zivug (marriage), parnassah b'shefa (abundance and prosperity), and so on. The money should then be placed in a Kupat Tzedakah. This segula is conducive to good fortune and success and to the opening of pathways, since the number 39 alludes to 39 deeds that help draw abundance. This practice is based on Kabbalistic sources that attach significance to increasing charitable giving and joy at the beginning of the month of Adar.
