Rosh Chodesh Kislev this the year תשעב is the evening of November 14 to November 15 2012 while the Ninth Day of Nissan, which connects to the month of Kislev is on the evening of March 31th and the day of April 1st 2012


According to the teachings of the ARI (Rabbi Issac Luria may he forever be a light unto the world) one should follow the steps below. The more one learns about the following:

1)The permutation of the names of God associated with the month of Kislev;

2)The letters that created the month of Kislev and the constellation associated with the Tribe of Benyamin which is the Sagittarius which is Keshet in Hebrew קשת; Keshet means archer but is sometimes translated as bow or rainbow.

3)The correlation of items from the Sefer Yetzirah;

4)The Torah Verses that describe the initial offering of the Nasi of the Tribe of Benyamin;

5) The character traits described by the name of that Nasi which for Benyamin is Avidon Ben Gidoni spelled אבידן בן גדעני -, as well as the character traits described by the permutation of the name of the Tribe;

6)and The consciousness behind the giving of each of the articles of the offering described by the Torah Verses,

the stronger will be ones connection to the tools of Kabbalah that will give a person control over the month of the year that is being developed on the ninth day of Nissan which is control over the month of Kislev

    Gimmel created the Planet Tzedek which is Jupiter. Tzedek also is a shoresh for the concept of Justice. and the Sameck created the Astrological sign of Keshet קשת which is Sagittarius.The Keshet relates to the archers bow along with the Holiday of Chanuka since the Macabbean rebellion is associated with both Chanuka and the archers bow which was the weapon of choice of the Macabees.The portion of land of the Benjamites had within it the Temple site. As such they are frequently thought of as the body of the Temple while the Levites and priests are thought of as the soul of the Temple.

    3. Various relationships are described in the Sefer Yetzirah. These relationships help create unity within the physical world by meditating upon the relationships.Take note of the following:

    The name of the month of Kislev כסלו can be thought of as the Throne of 36. This relates to the 36 concealed Tzadikim in whoose merit all miracles are performed in this world. Tribe = BenJamin; Sense = Sleep/Dream; Controller = Belly/Stomach .

    4. The donation for the tribe of Benyamin is the same as all of the other Tribal donations. Yet the consciousness is different as you will see below. By making connection to the reading from the Torah of each donation by each Nasi each day during Nissan, we can take control of the Astrological effect associated with that Tribe. Read or Scan the Hebrew right to left; The smaller letters are the transliteration of the Hebrew; and the regular letters are the English Translation of Bamidbar Numbers Chapter 7 Verses 60 to 66


    Verse 1 for this Nasi; Verse 60 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)

    ביום התשיעי נשיא לבני בנימן אבידן בן-גדעני

    BeYom HaTeshii Nasi Levnai Benyamin Avidan Ben Gidoni

    On the Ninth day Avidan Ben Gidoni, prince of the children of Benyamin:


    Verse 2 for this Nasi; Verse 61 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)

    קרבנו קערת-כסף אחת שלשים ומאה משקלה מזרק אחד כסף שבעים שקל בשקל הקדש שניהם מלאים סלת בלולה בשמן למנחה

    Karbeno Karit Kesef Echat Sheloshim Oomeah Meshaklah Mezerak Echad Kesef SheviIm Shekel BeShekel HaKodesh Shenaihem Melaim Solet Beluulah Beshemen Leminchah

    he presented for his offering one silver dish, the weight thereof was a hundred and thirty shekels, one silver basin of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering;


    Verse 3 for this Nasi; Verse 62 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)

    כף אחת עשרה זהב מלאה קטרת

    Kaf Echat ASarah Zehav MelaAh Ketoret

    one golden pan of ten shekels, full of incense;

    Verse 4 for this Nasi; Verse 63 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)

    פר אחד בן-בקר איל אחד כבש-אחד בן-שנתו לעלה

    Par Echad Ben Bakar Ehyil Echad Kavash Echad Ben Shenato LeOlah

    one young bullock, one ram, one he-lamb of the first year, for a burnt-offering;


    Verse 5 for this Nasi; Verse 64 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)

    שעיר-עזים אחד לחטאת

    Seir Ezim Echad LeChataat

    one male of the goats for a sin-offering;

    Verse 6 for this Nasi; Verse 65 from Chapter 7 of Bamidbar (Numbers)

    ולזבח השלמים בקר שנים אילם חמשה עתודים חמשה כבשים בני-שנה חמשה זה קרבן אבידן בן-גדעני

    Oolzevach Hashlamim Bakar Shenaim alim Chameshe Ahtudim Chamesha Kevasim Benai Shanah Chamesha Zeh Karban Avidan Ben Gidoni

    and for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five he-lambs of the first year. This was the offering of Avidan Ben Gidoni

    5. The name of each Tribe gives hints to the character traits of the Astrological sign associated with that Tribe. Also the name of each Nasi gives additional insights into the character traits of the tribe and the Astrological Signs.

    Our Sages teach that not all of these names are positive traits. This indicates traits that need to be worked upon to transform the person (ourselves) into a higher state of consciousness. The more one learns about the names associated with the Astrological Signs the more one can learn about his own correction!

    The Tribe for This day of Nissan is Benyamin connected to Kislev

    The Nasi for Kislev is Avidan Ben Gidoni

    Each name including the full name has Verses from the Tanach that speak to the person about their correction and also character and personality traits. Here are the verses for Gamliel Ben PedahTzur from the Tanach

    6. Each Nasi brought the same contribution for his sacrifice in honor of the dedication of the Mishkan. There is a custom and teaching about Torah. There is no extra letter in the Torah. So why does the Torah list the exact same contribution from each Nasi? It would be less letters to say it once only! The reason is that there is an important spiritual law about consciousness that can be learned from the following matrix. This matrix will also help one make a better connection to the control of the Astrological Signs To see the contribution read verse 1 to 6 above.
