Shovavim, the Hebrew term for "mischief-makers," doubles as an acronym for Torah portions read during the two months of Tevet and Shevat. Focused on teshuva and tikkun, this period addresses character weaknesses, particularly related to sexual impropriety. The Mekubalim stress that such blemishes create distance from the Hashem, demanding sincere repentance.
Traditionally, Shovavim includes fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, focusing on atonement for blemishes. Special practices include Ta'anit Dibbur, a day of speaking only essential words, symbolizing rectification. Psalm recitations and prayers aid in spiritual repair.
