Tehillim 148 – A Hint to Perek Shirah

«Hallelujah, hallelu et Adonai min hashamayim, halleluhu bamromim; halleluhu kol malachav, halleluhu kol tzeva'av; halleluhu shemesh veyareach, halleluhu kol kokhvei or; halleluhu shmei hashamayim, vehamayim asher me'al hashamayim» – (Praise the L-rd! Praise the L-rd from the heavens; praise Him in the heavenly heights; Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts; Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all shining stars; Praise Him, heavens of heavens, and the waters above the heavens.) The Bereshit Rabbah (10:6) teaches: “Rabbi Shimon said: ‘There is not a single blade of grass that does not have its own planet in the heavens, which strikes it and tells it: “Grow!”’ The Sages add: ‘Even everything that seems superfluous to you in the design of the world—creatures such as fleas, mosquitoes, and flies—know that these too are part of the design of the world, and that each fulfills a mission of the Holy One, blessed be He—even the snake, the scorpion, the mosquito, and the frog.’ the Ari HaKadosh (may his merit shield us) taught that every creature has an angel in Heaven through whom the creature receives sustenance and life force. But the angel itself is not independent—it receives these powers from the Al-mighty. In order to receive these powers, it must sing a special song of praise to the Al-mighty, one that precisely corresponds to its creature. All these songs are collected in Perek Shirah. Reading Perek Shirah for 40 days, or reading it regularly every day, is a special segula for protection from many misfortunes. The great miracle-worker Rabbi Yisrael Dov Ber of Vilednik taught in Sefer Hanhagot Tzadikim that one should read one chapter of Perek Shirah every day. This is in addition to what the foremost Sages, Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi and Rabbi Eliezer the Great, stated in the introduction to Perek Shirah itself.   Perek Shirah – Text Perek Shira - Shirat HaBriah (Song of Creation) Commentary on Perek Shirah – The Hidden Meaning Commentary on Perek Shirah – The Hidden Meaning Perek Shirah – For 40 Days Perek Shirah - a segula for 40 days   (Bereshit Rabbah 10:6, 7)
