23 Sivan: A Special Day for Salvation

Special prayer for the 23rd of Sivan [Thursday 3 June]

On the 23rd of the month of Sivan (כג׳ סיון) the decree of Haman (At the time of Mordechai and Esther) to annihilate the Jewish nation was nullified. 

The holy books teach us that this day is a very powerful day for prayers to nullify decrees and anything bad, evil and horrible against us. In the same way that from that day the situation of the Jewish nation changed and became good, and “Mordecai left the king’s presence with royal raiment” (Esther 8/15) … “and the city of Shushan shouted and rejoiced” … and as a result the Megila says… “The Jews had light and joy, and gladness and honor” – The holy books teach us that this day (Sivan 23) is a powerful day to revoke and nullify any decree against you (Sickness, death, poverty, infertile, etc.) 

Therefore on this powerful day there are a few things you want to do: 

Light two (2) candles for Esther and Mordechai 
  • Give three (3) coins to charity. The coins should be held with both hands at the same time when placing in the charity box 
  • Read chapters 22, 83, 130, 142 of Tehilim – Find text at link below 
  • Read chapter 8 from the Megila of Esther – Find text at link below 
  • Read Avinu Malkeinu (Without a blessing, just the text)- Find text at link below 
  • Pray from your heart with your words anything you want and need – Ask from Hashem 
  • Recite the short prayer – Find text at link below 
  • Take upon yourself a good decision to add a Mitzvah to your daily schedule 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure all the above is done and read on the 23rd of Sivan during the day from dawn till sundown!

Current Events [Moshiach] and the Existence of God

 New shiur from Rabbi Mendel Kessin

He also responds to the controversial comment at the end of his last shiur regarding Gerim. [you can hear this within the first 10 minutes of the lecture] - and for those who tried to comment on that on this blog, I did not publish those comments as I thought it was just extending the lashonhara even further.

Eclipsing the Wonders of Yetziat Mitzrayim

[text received via WhatsApp - author unknown]

The most significant thing is that the blood moon Joel 3:3 should be very familiar to everyone because it appears in our Haggadah in the signs and wonders that will eclipse [pun intended] the signs and wonders of Yetziat Mitzrayim to herald in the Final Redemption.... May it be so !

 "Stop Stepping on Others"

After the devastating disaster in Meron on Lag Ba'Omer, Rabbi Anava points out the sources in the Torah referring to the disaster and the message G-d is sending us that we need to address.

Total Lunar Eclipse

Tonight in Australia we will be able to see the full lunar eclipse: for full details of how to see it in your country click here.

The last time the moon turned red, I saw it with my own eyes, although the moon was quite far away and just a small red dot in the sky.  This time the moon will be much closer to us, and as the weather is fine here I'm hoping for an amazing sight.
