UPDATED: A Special Segulah for the Fast of Esther!

19/3/2019

UPDATE: For anyone who missed waking up at the crack of dawn on Taanit Esther, please know that the article below states that the entire fast day is an auspicious time for prayer and requests.

After all, this is the fast that saved the Jews from Haman back then.

(Also, a summary of the linked article is in the comment section below.)

Giving any kind of tzedakah and reciting Psalm 22 (whether once or 7 times, as recommended by the Kav Hayashar) is an excellent thing to do throughout the fast day.

Saying a lot of Tehillim on Taanit Esther & Purim is very auspicious, if you can manage it.

The main thing on Taanit Esther is pouring out your heart and asking Hashem that He help you in the zechut of Esther Hamalkah & Mordechai Hatzaddik.

Please see A Spiritual Remedy Guaranteed to Work on the Fast of Esther to see how you can effect your own salvation (or the salvation of others).

The fast starts at the crack of dawn on Wednesday morning, and you need to start the segulah from that moment.

The link is not good. Is it a video or an article?

Hi, H.

I'm sorry to hear it's causing problems.

I double-tested the link and I see that it works for me in Chrome, but in another browser, I needed to give it permission to go to that link. I don't know if that's your issue too?

Anyway, it's at the English Hidabroot website, if it's easier to get to the article that way. (The article is on Hidabroot's home page.)

But just in case, here are the basics from that article for the segulah:

1) You wake up at aloht hashachar (the break of dawn, because it is an auspicious time for nullifying harsh decrees) and do netilat yadayim.

2) You give a coin (preferably silver because it symbolizes chessed/loving-kindness) to tzedakah.

3) You light 2 26-hour candles (ner neshamah), one for Queen Esther & one for Mordechai Hatzaddik.

4) You say Psalm 22 (because it mentions ayelet hashachar, the morning star, to which Esther Hamalkah is compared).

5) You preferably say this Psalm 7 times.

6) Then you pour out your heart and make your request, mention the merit of Queen Esther & Mordechai Hatzaddik and ask Hashem that in their merit, He answer your prayers.

As Hidabroot quotes the Kav Hayashar:

“This day is very auspicious for the acceptance of our prayers in the merit of Mordechai and Esther and anyone who needs mercy for something he needs should pray and take the time for himself during the Fast of Esther and first say Psalm 22., as our sages interpreted that Esther was called the “Morning Star”. Afterwards he should pour his heart out before G-d and make his request mentioning the merit of Mordechai and Esther that in their merit G-d should answer his prayers, open the heavenly gates of mercy and willfully grant his request.”

Hatzlacha rabbah!

Oops, I see I didn't directly answer your question:

It's an article, not a video.

Sorry about that.
