A prayer like this one doesn't see every day. Today at Amuka, Rabbi Mordechai Shlomo Edelstein will conduct an awe-inspiring prayer event on the site to bring personal salvation to members of the public, with the blessing of Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky that those who contribute to poor brides should merit, in accordance with their deeds, to find their partners and get engaged by Rosh Hashanah 5782.
Today marks as the yahrtzeit (date of passing) of the holy Rabbi Yonasan ben Uziel who is interred in Amuka in northern Israel.
It's sufficient to merely mention the name 'Amuka' to cause multitudes to feel a sense of holiness: The holy tomb has long been a magnet, and many have found personal salvation at this place that's auspicious for finding one's marriage partner. Many have found, by prayer at this holy site, their true "soul mates."
Now, a few days before the yahrtzeit, Kupat Ha'ir has publicized that, due to the unprecedented number of poor brides who do not even have the means to pay for their own weddings, Rabbi Mordechai Shlomo Edelstein will today be conducting a prayer event and "nullification of curses" at this auspicious place, to help people see personal salvation.
Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky expressed himself in an out-of-the-ordinary manner in response to this special and rare prayer event.
In the words of the rabbi, those who donate to Kupat Ha'ir's fundraising campaign for poor brides the sum of at least 516 shekels [$160] – the gematria of chasan kallah- will be included in the prayer of Rabbi Mordechai Shlomo Edelstein in the ceremony at Amuka, which will be conducted according to the tradition he received from his father Rabbi Ya'akov Edelstein of blessed and righteous memory. They should also merit, with the power of the tzedakah (charity) and the tefillah (prayer), that, in accordance with their deeds, they should become engaged by Rosh Hashanah 5782.
Now is our time- your time- to join this tefillah event; to help these poverty-stricken brides; and to merit to hopefully receive our marriage partners ; to bring us the salvation that we yearn for so much- by Rosh Hashanah 5782. Join now to ensure that your names, and those of your loved ones awaiting their partners, will be there.
