One segulah that people follow, even those who don't typically practice segulot, is the recitation of Parshat Haman, particularly on the Tuesday before Parshat Beshalach. There is a promise that one who says it every day will not lack for sustenance.
What makes this section of the Torah so powerful that it miraculously works for anyone who says it daily? While there are many hidden reasons and sources, let's focus on one practical lesson we can apply:
In the Torah portion, we read that when the Jews collected the manna (man), regardless of whether someone took more or less than they should have when they returned home, they found exactly the portion size that was designated for them. We also learn that if anyone left manna overnight during the week, it would rot by morning - unless it was Friday night when miraculously it remained perfectly fine for the Shabbat meal.
The key message here is about honesty. The Torah states it directly: the world operates according to the principle of "middah k'neged middah" (measure for measure). If you conduct yourself honestly - paying people on time, not overcharging, not skimming, giving ma'aser - you will see blessings in your finances.
Parshat Haman serves as a daily reminder: earning money is merely a test. H'shem has more than enough to make you and everyone around you enormously wealthy. The challenge often lies in ensuring that your behavior reflects your beliefs. Trust in H'shem, don't touch what isn't yours, pay people on time, and behave honestly and ethical with your time and money and you too will see the floodgates of wealth open up for you.
