Reciting Parashat Ha’man

from Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour · host Rabbi Eli Mansour

Some have the custom to recite each day the section known as "Parashat Ha'man" – the verses from Parashat Beshalah (Shemot chapter 16) which tell of the Manna, the miraculous food with which G-d sustained Beneh Yisrael in the wilderness. Reading this section reinforces our faith in Hashem as the source of our material sustenance, and is thus very significant. The Talmud Yerushalmi writes that one who recites this section each day is guaranteed that he will never lack food. Many people mistakenly think that reading this section is a Segula ("charm") that brings wealth, but it is clear from the Yerushalmi that this is not the case. The Yerushalmi guarantees that those who read it every day will never experience deprivation or shortage, not that they will become wealthy. Rav Haim Vital (1543-1620) would recite Parashat Ha'man each day until his mentor, the Arizal, told him to discontinue this practice. It is unclear whether the Arizal opposed the daily recitation altogether, or opposed only its recitation at the beginning of the prayer service. The Sefer Hasidim (Rabbenu Yehuda Ha'hasid, Germany, d. 1217) writes that one must not pray for his material needs before first beseeching G-d for assistance in his pursuit of spiritual greatness. Perhaps, then, the Arizal objected only to reciting Parashat Ha'man during the introduction to the daily prayer service, but accepted the value of reciting it each day after Shaharit. Regardless, Hacham David Yosef, in Halacha Berura, writes that Sephardic custom is not to recite Parashat Ha'man as part of the daily prayer service. Of course, there is nothing wrong with reciting it afterward. Many have the practice of reciting this section on the Tuesday before the Shabbat of Parashat Beshalah.
