The Big Mistake

 

THE ג' בשלח MISTAKE The popular Minhag of פרשת המן on ג' בשלח was unheard of just one generation ago. Not even  Riminover Chasidim of the past ever heard of it. In all of the כתבים of R. Mendel Riminover Zt"l there is no mention of the ג' בשלח סגולה The first מקור (source) of this Minhag is in the ספר ילקוט מנחם חדש published in 1991. The Sefer writes that Rav S.W. Weinberger Zt"l heard from the Stropkover Rebbe Zt"l in the name of R.M.Riminov Zt"l   about the ג' בשלח פרשת המן סגולה After the publication of the Sefer, this Segulah spread like wildfire. All the weekly Torah pamphlets & every frum internet site and App. reminded us not to forget to say פרשת המן on Tuesday בשלח. *At a later date  Rav Weinberger's כתבים were found in which he writes that  he heard from  the Stropkover Rebbe how R,M, Riminover said פרשת המן, שנים מקרא  ואחד תרגום EVERY DAY & had in mind that פרנסה is מן השמים. R.M.R. claimed that by having this כוונה while reciting the Parsha you are assured not to ever lack in פרנסה (As mentioned by the קדמונים) Rav Weinberg wrote that it was on ג' בשלח when he met the Stropkover Rebbe. The confusion came about from this one line. that he heard about this סגולה on ג' בשלח from the Stropkover Rebbe R.M.M. never said that there is a special day of ג' בשלח to say the פרשת המן   שו"ת מגדל נאה מאת הרה"ג נפתלי אהרן וקשטיין שליט"א*
