Time to Ask 

Today, as we light the 7th candle of Chanukah, we approach the peak of this holy and miraculous holiday. I want to share with you the significance of the final day of Chanukah, known as Zos Chanukah. It is taught that Zos Chanukah represents the culmination of the spiritual process that began on Rosh Hashanah. According to Chasidic authorities, the final sealing of all decrees takes place on this day, which means there is still time to turn to Hashem and ask Him to shower us with blessings.

On Zos Chanukah, there are unique customs observed. Among them, the Kabbalists take this auspicious opportunity to perform a tikkun called Notzer VeNakeh. This special tikkun is particularly powerful for invoking blessings in three key areas: children, life, and sustenance. Anyone seeking blessings is invited to include their names and those of their loved ones in this sacred tikkun ceremony, performed by Rabbi Yaakov Avraham Shepherd at the Tomb of King David on Mount Zion, Jerusalem.

Special this Year!

A kabbalist student of Rabbi Shepherd is personally going to Ukraine where he is going to the kever of the Holy Baal Shem Tov and Rabbi Nachman of Breslev where he is also performing tikunim for all the people who submit names. This is truly a unique opportunity!

Kabbalistic tradition teaches that Zos Chanukah marks the culmination of Chanukah’s spiritual energy, presenting a unique opportunity to connect with Hashem’s system of mercy. According to the teachings of the Arizal, one of the most significant channels for divine abundance is known as Dikna Kadisha—a sacred and elevated source of blessings. By connecting to this channel, immense blessings can flow into the world.

Hashem established two spiritual systems: one of judgment, administered by the heavenly court, and a higher system of mercy, which can override even the harshest decrees. The Dikna Kadisha is associated with this higher system, where mercy prevails over judgment. On Zos Chanukah, prayers are exceptionally powerful, as the light of Dikna Kadisha illuminates the night, drawing Hashem’s infinite mercy into the world.

The Notzer VeNakeh tikkun, performed on Zos Chanukah, involves profound Kabbalistic meditations and prayers conducted after midnight. The Zohar highlights the unparalleled potency of Torah study and prayer during this sacred time, promising that prayers offered after midnight are answered—especially on Zos Chanukah. This tikkun focuses on Banei, Chayei, U'Mezoni (children, life, and sustenance), drawing these blessings from Hashem’s infinite mercy.

Many miracles have been attributed to the tikkun of Zos Chanukah:

• A man diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer sought prayers on Zos Chanukah. Miraculously, subsequent tests revealed that the cancer had completely disappeared without surgical intervention.
• In another case, a baby born without a digestive system was given no chance of survival. Following heartfelt prayers on Zos Chanukah, doctors discovered that the child had miraculously developed a fully functioning digestive system.

These powerful stories testify to the transformative potential of Zos Chanukah. This sacred tikkun magnifies the holiness and light of the Festival of Lights, creating a bridge between the finite and the infinite. It is a night when the power of prayer and Hashem’s mercy shine brighter than ever, offering unparalleled opportunities for blessings and miracles.

Strengthen the Miracles of Chanukah with Tzedakah

Chanukah is a time of miracles, renewal, and divine blessings. It’s a time when the spiritual channels are wide open, offering us the opportunity to draw incredible abundance into our lives. One of the most powerful ways to amplify the miracles of Chanukah is through tzedakah, the act of giving charity, which has the unique ability to erase evil decrees and unlock Hashem’s blessings.

This Chanukah, you can take part in a life-changing opportunity to combine the power of this miraculous time with the mitzvah of tzedakah. Rabbi Shepherd has a dream of establishing a Kabbalistic community in the Holy Land, and the time to secure the land in Ramat Shlomo is slipping away. We need your help to make this dream a reality before the opportunity is lost!

What does the ritual involve?
Rabbi Shepherd will use specially designed segulah plaques to channel blessings such as health, shalom bayit (peace in the home), financial prosperity, having children, finding a spouse, and more. Each plaque will be immersed in the mikveh and brought to a holy site, such as the Kotel, where the Rabbi will perform a Kabbalistic prayer for your unique request. Once completed, the plaque will be sent to your home as a source of divine blessing and protection.

Is this segulah being sold?
It has been asked whether this segulah costs $1,000. We want to clarify that we are not selling the segulah, nor is this fundraising campaign intended to sell these segulot. Rabbi Shepherd’s intention is to encourage people to partner with this holy project by offering this once-in-a-lifetime segulah as an incentive.
