Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Torah Portion "At Your New Moons"

Our holy Rabbenu says that a segulah for enduring offspring is that the husband and wife — both of them together — recite the Torah portion of "At Your New Moons." And similarly when G-d forbid the infant is ill — they should also recite, both husband and wife together, the portion of "At Your New Moons."

There was an event. One girl was ill — she developed a great swelling and the doctors despaired. So I asked the father and mother: "What are the doctors saying?"

They told me the doctors said it was growing and growing and growing and they could not perform surgery and they did not know what to do.

I told them to recite — he and his wife — the portion of "At Your New Moons," from Likutay Moharan ch. 151. And the girl would have a healing. And so it was!

The father began to recite "At Your New Moons" — he and his wife… And the girl was eating and sitting and everything was fine!

*"And at your New Moons you shall offer up a burnt-offering to Hashem: two young bulls and one ram and seven unblemished year-old lambs. And three tenths of fine flour as a meal-offering mixed with oil for each bull, and two tenths of fine flour as a meal-offering mixed with oil for the one ram. And one tenth of fine flour as a meal-offering mixed with oil for each lamb — a burnt-offering of pleasant aroma, a fire-offering to Hashem. And their libations: half a hin for each bull, and a third of a hin for the ram, and a quarter of a hin for each lamb — of wine. This is the burnt-offering of the new month in its renewal, for the months of the year. And one he-goat as a sin-offering to Hashem — in addition to the continual burnt-offering it shall be performed, and its libation." [Numbers 28]
