סגולת לימוד תורה של אור החיים הקדוש

Learning the book Ohr HaChaim on the Torah by Rabbi Chaim ben Attar is regarded in Jewish tradition as a great segulah and a source of salvation in all matters.

The main segulot attributed to this learning

• Children: A well-known segulah for being blessed with sons and daughters. Rabbi Chaim ben Attar had no surviving children, and it is said that his power of bringing life is stored within his book.
• Fear of Heaven and a pure soul: Learning the book is regarded as awakening the soul and strengthening the yirat Shamayim of the learner and of the whole household.
• Rescue from trouble and protection of the home: Keeping the sefer at home and learning from it are seen as protection and deliverance from harm.
• Livelihood and long life: Books record that this learning is connected with a broadened mind, good parnasah and length of days.
• A segulah for teshuvah: It is told in the name of tzaddikim that whoever learns the Ohr HaChaim on the parshiyot Acharei Mot and Kedoshim is assured that he will not leave this world without teshuvah.
