Basya Tsybukmakher
A well-known segulah from Rabbi Chaim Palagi (1788-1869, an outstanding sage, kabbalist, and leader of Turkey's Jewish communities) is to refrain entirely from complaints, regrets, and grievances against the Almighty during the month of Kislev, beginning with Rosh Chodesh (the beginning of the month) and continuing until the end of Hanukkah.
Rabbi Palagi promises that anyone who manages not to complain about anything during this period will merit seeing a miracle (in their life) before the year is out.
Kislev is a month “conducive” to miracles, to changes in nature and reality (remember the miracle of the little jug of oil?). During this month, it is especially important to thank and praise the Almighty, beginning with the Hallel prayer on Rosh Chodesh and continuing throughout the month.
You can read about the special segulah of thanking and praising the Almighty (שבח והודיה לקב"ה) during Hanukkah here.
What does it mean not to complain? Not to express dissatisfaction with what is missing from your life (money, health, a husband/children, etc.), or with what does not live up to your expectations (my husband/children/relatives/I myself are not as I think we should be, circumstances have not turned out as I hoped, and so on)
Instead, focus on what you can thank the Almighty for right now—and thank Him!
To strengthen the trait of gratitude, it is also good to recite “Mizmor LeTodah” and/or “Nishmat Kol Chai.”
Let's try to see the light in our lives and turn around our habit of complaining and being dissatisfied, —and then the Almighty, measure for measure, will turn reality around for you and light up your life with His miracles!
Amen, ken yehi ratzon!
