target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the original video on TikTok \u2190<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What is a blessing in livelihood?<\/h2>\n<p>Livelihood is more than a number in an account. It concerns sustaining a home, honoring commitments and giving to others from a position of stability. Seeking its blessing therefore also concerns peace of mind and how one uses what one receives. Rabbi Emanuel Shahar's video presents Jupiter in the traditional context of abundance and wealth.<\/p>\n<p>The language of abundance can be understood as asking for expansion: new possibilities, strength to act and sound judgment. It should not become a promise that a particular profit will arrive at a known time.<\/p>\n<h2>Reading source and interpretation<\/h2>\n<p>Sefer Yetzirah includes Jupiter among the seven planets. Its correspondences belong to a traditional conceptual system and should be read within the version and commentary used. A specific spiritual practice requires a further source; it cannot be inferred from the planet's name alone.<\/p>\n<p>Readers of Kabbalistic texts can ask how an author connects name, time and intention. This is more useful than copying an unexplained symbol and helps distinguish textual study from a promise of financial success.<\/p>\n<h2>Prayer alongside action<\/h2>\n<p>A request for blessing can accompany honest work, expense planning, professional learning and good customer relations. Do not borrow or invest on the belief that a spiritual practice guarantees profit. Bring a personal question about the spiritual path to the office while keeping financial decisions with appropriate professional guidance.<\/p>\n<section class=\"video-sources\">\n<h2>Sources for further study<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/he.wikisource.org\/wiki\/\u05e1\u05e4\u05e8_\u05d9\u05e6\u05d9\u05e8\u05d4_\u05d3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sefer Yetzirah, chapter 4 \u2014 the seven planets<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"video-office\">\n<h2>Contact the Kabbalist\u2019s office<\/h2>\n<p>For a personal conversation, information about the Rabbi's work or an individually written amulet, contact the office.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/972583328293\"><span>Contact the office \u2190<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><bdi>058-3328293<\/bdi><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<nav class=\"video-related\" aria-label=\"Further reading\"><strong>Further reading<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/?p=1058&#038;lang=en\">Amulets and prayers from the Book of the Angel Emanuel \u2190<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/nav>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/main><\/p>\n<footer class=\"es-footer\">\n<p>Rabbi Emanuel Shahar \u00b7 Tiferet Malchut Shlomo<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/?page_id=20352&#038;lang=en\">About the Rabbi<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/?page_id=50002&#038;lang=en\">Terms of use<\/a><\/p>\n<nav class=\"es-langs\" aria-label=\"Language\"><a href=\"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/?page_id=22&#038;lang=he\" hreflang=\"he\" lang=\"he\">\u05e2\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05ea<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/?page_id=1052&#038;lang=en\" hreflang=\"en\" lang=\"en\" aria-current=\"page\">English<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/?page_id=1053&#038;lang=fr\" hreflang=\"fr\" lang=\"fr\">Fran\u00e7ais<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/?page_id=1054&#038;lang=ar\" hreflang=\"ar\" lang=\"ar\">\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/?page_id=20074&#038;lang=es\" hreflang=\"es\" lang=\"es\">Espa\u00f1ol<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/?page_id=20369&#038;lang=fa\" hreflang=\"fa\" lang=\"fa\">\u0641\u0627\u0631\u0633\u06cc<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/?page_id=20374&#038;lang=tr\" hreflang=\"tr\" lang=\"tr\">T\u00fcrk\u00e7e<\/a><\/nav>\n<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An article accompanying Rabbi Emanuel Shahar's video on Jupiter: traditional language of abundance, prayer for livelihood and the relationship between faith and practical responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20320,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_canvas","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-topic-23-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=43902"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43902\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50403,"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43902\/revisions\/50403"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/20320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=43902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=43902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emanuelshahar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=43902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
