The Ana Beko'ach is an ancient kabbalistic prayer built around a sequence of 42 letters that are encoded within the first 42 letters of the Book of Genesis. The Book of Formation explains that by meditating daily on the Hebrew letters specific to the month, you can influence how your month plays out.

Every month is represented by a sign of the zodiac, and by a planet, both created by a Hebrew letter. They are the physical representation of the divine energy intelligence that created everything, from the planets to the galaxies. The Sefer Yetzirah ( Book of Formation), written by Abraham the Patriarch some 3800 years ago, states that the Hebrew letters are the DNA of the universe. If we have an important task to accomplish and a positive day is not an option, a neutral day is preferable over a negative day. Seeds planted on negative days have a harder time bearing fruit. Just as positive days have more energy, negative days have less. The first day of each month, the New Moon, is a particularly positive day, as it contains the seed of the entire month. These days are an optimal time to plant a seed for new ventures, getting married, buying a home, scheduling important medical procedures and so on. In a Kabbalistic Calendar, a month always starts on or near a new moon and has either 29 or 30 days (a lunar cycle is about 29 1/2 days).Ĭertain days are imbued with the energy of abundance, making them a preferable time to begin something new.


The Gregorian (traditional) calendar determines the month and year based on solar cycles, whereas the Kabbalistic Calendar determines the month according to lunar cycles and the year by the solar cycles. The Difference Between a Gregorian Calendar and a Kabbalistic Calendar
