Today is the 23rd of Sivan, which is my Hebrew birthday. It is also the date in the megillah when the new decree was sent out to overturn Haman’s plot. I do like to hear my birthday mentioned during megillah leining each year!
I have heard that this is a day that is “mesugal” for having a decree nullified or overturned. I believe there is a segulah of sorts to give a peruta to tzedakah, light two candles for Mordechai and Esther, say perek 22 of Tehillim, and say the pesukim in the megillah, perek 8:9-17, daven for a personal yeshuah and write it down. I share this in case this moves you – I will probably do some but not all – nothing too segulah-ish.
In any event, since it is my birthday and I can give brachos, I wish for you that your tefillos are answered swiftly, l’tova, and (whether or not you can do another segulah) you experience a complete yeshua b’karov!
