Asher is Zelpa's second son, Leah's slave, and Jacob's eighth son. In the Torah, Asher's character is not detailed on many personal occasions, but he receives significant blessings from Jacob and Moses. In the blessing of Jacob, who is described as "confirming that his bread is fat, and he will give delicacies to the king," alluded to the abundance and fertility that would characterize his inheritance.

Jewish tradition attributes to the tribe Asher qualities of wealth, fertility and abundance. The land of a tribe that was along the Mediterranean coast, an area known for its fertility and fine olive oil. The Sages tell us that girls who were known for their beauty married high priests and kings.

Spiritual role

A tribe that carries the frequency of grace and their giving and gift to the world is the ability to produce abundance, of all kinds. Financial, mental, marital and health abundance. 2 of the letters of their name are from the letters "last night" which give them strong spiritual power. Because of the same ability to connect heaven and earth as polar holders of earth and air, which is a connecting word expressing the inner essence behind things, the opposite of the word head. Thanks to the wide smile and happiness they radiate to the environment, they always transmit optimism and are surrounded by friends who love them. Love your neighbor as yourself. who came to remind us that we must always choose to bring brothers together, to welcome guests without fear of scarcity. And to make peace in the face of situations in my life or people, to keep quarrels between tribes away.

Spiritual correction

Dealing with complex emotions: which are very successful and are afraid to admit it for fear that if they admit it their intensity will disappear. Although they are very successful and special, there is a somewhat low experience of self-worth but it is hidden from the environment. They must learn not to take personal, and thus overcome the new things. They also have work to do when it comes to overcoming intellect. Which in reversing letters is a head. This tribe thinks and analyzes too much. Thoughts about the future or the past in a loop that do not advance them, doubts that cloud their quality of life.

Relationships with female characters: The tribe has an ongoing interest in relationships with women, such as Leah's blessing "Blessed be I for I will be blessed with girls." There is a need for approval from female figures in life and it is worth checking the relationship with the mother as well. Girls who were considered very beautiful and mated with priests.

Asher and prophecy: Those who have the ability to connect to prophecy and the spiritual world from the products of the earth. Theyare related to the oil of ointment, olive oil and the world of pleasures. According to Rabbi Yochanan, olive oil helps prevent forgetfulness, keeps jealousy, hatred and competition away. There is also a less sympathetic side to the prophecy, that of the prophets of the visa worshipped by Isabel, wife of Ahab, who began to worship Baal. The northern camp would prepare the wicks for the temple. Oil on the head is an expression of closeness, the return of brothers together in peace and tranquility. "When the good oil on the head descends on Aaron's beard, which descends according to his measurements."

Life at large: There is an inner ability to amplify things, shuffle all the cards and enjoy the jackpot. This is a tendency that, on the one hand, shows a lot of enthusiasm and dedication to doing them, but sometimes can become obsessive and obsessive and not know where to set limits, which can be expressed both in speech (which can be unfiltered) and in other behaviors.

Not satisfied with what exists and squinting aside: may reach the sins of idolatry, indulgence, from food and pleasures, rudeness, sensitivity to criticism, they must learn a lesson in full presence in the present.
