Shovavim ({{lang-he-n|שובבי"ם}}) is a Hebrew acronym for the Jewish parshioth (Torah portions) of "Shemot", "Va'era", "Bo", "B'Shallach", "Yitro" and "Mishpatim". The Hebrew word that is formed from the initials of these names means "mischief-makers." This word appears in Jeremiah 3:22, which begins: "Return o' mischief makers" ({{Hebrew|שׁוּבוּ בָּנִים שׁוֹבָבִים}}). During a Jewish leap-year this period is extended to an eight-week period called "Shovavim Tat", derived by adding the next two portions, "Terumah" and "Tetzaveh", to the list. The period in which these portions are read typically falls around Tevet-Shevat in the Hebrew Calendar (corresponding to January–February).

Shovavim is a season when the Kabbalists teach that it is auspicious to repent for sins ("mischief"), especially for sexually-related transgressions. During these weeks, it is customary to be more careful not to violate any of the sexually-related transgressions commanded in the Torah. Some have the customs of studying laws relating to such transgressions, fasting and giving extra tzedakah during this time, and of reciting Selichos and other tikkunim (Kabbalistic prayers or meditations) designed to counteract their harmful effects. On the Shabbatot (Saturdays, the Jewish Sabbath) when these weekly portions of the Torah are read, some take upon themselves to refrain from speaking, except words of prayer and Torah. This type of fast is called a ta'anit dibbur ({{Hebrew|תענית דבור}}).

The origin to these customs is based on Jewish Kabbalistic teachings and therefore Sephardic and Hassidic Jews are more likely to follow them than their Ashkenazic counterparts.

Fasting

During the Shovavim period, some Jewish individuals have the custom to fast every Monday and Thursday from dawn until dusk. Some fast on Friday (the eve of Shabbat) until the afternoon.

Prayer

There are extra prayers added called "Tikkun Shovavim" during these weeks. Some have the custom of praying more prayers and reading extra Psalms during this period.[1]

Ta'anit Dibbur

A special type of fast called a ta'anit dibbur is observed by some during the Shovavim period. This does not involve refraining from eating and drinking, but from speaking. During the entire day (usually Shabbat, when regular fasting is prohibited), between sunrise and dusk, one refrains from superfluous speech. Speaking words of prayer and Torah is permitted. Some Jewish congregations gather on the Shabbat when these speech fasts are held, to read the entire book of Psalms three times (a total of 450 psalms). At an average pace, this reading can take up to ten hours. This is usually accomplished between the Shabbat morning meal and the afternoon prayer.[2]
