Saying Parshas HaMun:[1]
Its proper[2] for one to recite daily[3] the paragraph of the Mun [heavenly bread] in order to strengthen ones trust [i.e. Bitachon] in G-d who provides ones food on a daily basis.[4] Alternatively, it is recited in order to strengthen one’s belief [i.e. Emuna] that all of one’s food comes to him with Divine providence[5], as G-d decided to give one portion of Mun per family, and those who took more, had their portion decrease to the allotted portion, while those who took less had their portion increase to the allotted portion.[6] [Thus we see that whatever G-d decides to give a person is what he will get no matter if he tries to get more or less.]
The custom today: Practically, the custom is to no longer recite the Parshas Haman prior to Davening.[7] However, some recite it every day after Davening as a Segula for Parnasa.[8] This is not the Chabad custom.[9]
A Segula for Parnasa: The Jerusalem Talmud states that whoever recites Parshas Haman is guaranteed to have no lack of income, and so is recorded in many Poskim Rishonim and Achronim.[10] Accordingly, some recite it every day after Davening as a Segula for Parnasa.[11] Likewise, there exists a Segula to recite Parshas Haman on the Tuesday of the week of Parshas Beshalach.[12] While the Rebbe makes mention of reciting Parshas Haman daily as a Segula for Parnasa, he concludes that it does not apply in all times and all places.[13] |
