The Foundation: BELIEVE
Rav Elya Lopian, a prominent leader of the Mussar movement, taught that a "tefillah shleimah" - a complete prayer - means the person truly believed in the power of their prayer.
Rav Biderman adds: the strongest reason why tefilot aren't answered is because we don't truly believe in the power of tefillah—
We don't believe that THIS tefillah could be THE one that changes everything.
The Baal Shem Tov teaches that prayers are matters "that stand at the heights of the world," yet people treat them lightly.
Chanukah falls out in Kislev, and when a chag falls in a particular month, the entire month carries the power and segulot of that holiday?
And what makes Chanukah unique? It's the one time of year when you're actually allowed to ask H'shem for a nes. Not just help, not just assistance, but an actual miracle.
So for this entire month, BEZ"H, Bli Neder every day we're going to feature a well-known segulah, mitzvah, or tefillah so you can truly receive everything you're asking H'shem for.
Day 1: The Tanya
Rav Ahkenazi teaches that Kislev is especially connected to Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the Baal HaTanya. On 19 Kislev, he was miraculously released from prison after 53 days of imprisonment on false charges—a day now celebrated as the "Rosh Hashanah of Chassidus." After his release, he was told from Heaven to spread Chassidus even more powerfully than before.
Rav Ahkenazi shares a proven segulah that he personally attests to:
If you take just a few minutes each day to learn from the Tanya for a least a month —especially now in Kislev, but really any time of year—you will b'ezrat H'shem receive your yeshuah. (and those who have done it saw the yeshuah in a matter of days)
Don't delay. And when you see your yeshuah, share it with me, and I will anonymously share it with the group so we can all be energized and strengthened!
