A very credible organization which sends out daily halacha is now covering halachos involved with lighting Shabbos candles.
I want to share that mentioned in today’s halacha, it states for women who experience difficult labor when giving birth and for women who have not yet had children, they should recite the Haftarah of the first day of Rosh Hashana (which details the story of Chana’s childlessness and ultimate giving birth to Shmuel HaNavi) each Friday evening after lighting Shabbos candles. It is stated to work best when the woman understands what she is saying with meaning, and not simply reading the words.
Hatzlacha to anyone who many want to employ this segula!
I have heard of the powerful segula to be oleh for this Haftora on Rosh Hashana, being an incredibly auspicious time when Hashem hears the tefillos of childless couples. I have also heard of davening when lighting Shabbos candles. But I have never heard of the segula of reciting the Rosh Hashana Haftora when lighting Shabbos candles. Interesting. Can you provide us with a source please. Thanks BTGuy for sharing.
Most people with a decent sized IQ dont really care for magic tricks.
Yes i have heard of this… there are the newer “hadlokas naros techinos” that have it in them!
There are soooo many so called segulos out there it has hard to differentiate between the legitimate ones and the fraudulent ones.
An unnamed email quoting a segula without a source doesnt prompt much serious thought.
BTGuy- Thank you.
I looked up that website and the source is Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 75:2.
Thank you, BTGuy.
If there is a difficult labor/birth. Say Yizkor. You can see that when they says Yizkot in shul the kids always run out 🙂
dear cleverjewishpun
seems your IQ isnt big enough cuz its in the kitzur- last time i checked its not a book of magic.
Can I say it for someone? Or does the person have to say it? Because i know someone in this situation and i would feel more comfortable saying it for her privately instead of telling her about it.
is it something that should be said only in the 9th month, or should it be said throughout pregnancy?
anonymrs- The KSH says pretty much verbatim what BTGuy posted above. The segula is for childless women as well. He does not say when in the pregnancy it can be said.
One excellent segula which I’ve heard is to make sure to live in the 20th or 21st century.

Another koifer?
Are you saying it’s a bad segula? Who’s the koifer now?
Rav Aviner said that the segulot for parnassa work for those who sell them. The segula for childbirth can be found at Machon Puah (which has an English-speaker division).

It seemed from your comment that you were mocking the kitzur shulchon aruch hence my sharp comment. If I am wrong I take back my comment but would like to know what you did mean.
There is a gemara in shabbas (66) which brings down a segula.
My husband would ask for pesicha during my 9th month. A ruby is also supposed to be a segula to be worn from that point on.
Sam, to be more exact it is in Shabbat 66b. Rabbi Scroll (his friends call him Art) says in the name of the Rashba (Teshuvot 1:413) that a certain action had to be performed on the stone. However, he does not say what that action was. In could be that there was some science known to them that is not known to us. It could also be that it had a placebo effect.
So for us it won’t work, since we don’t know what special action was done, hence ruining the plecebo effect. Hmm.
I am usually very skeptical of using segulos, but I kind of like this one. See http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/my-segula-didnt-work
See, the point of this segula is to read the parsha of chana, who davened for children and was granted children. Presumably, the point is that then you will also be motivated to daven for children.
