To discuss “A Letter in the Scroll” by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks


A LETTER FROM SHIRA KANDEL:

 

Rabbi Shulman,

In honor of Rosh Chodesh Adar, Michlalah held an auction to raise money to help pay for weddings for those who can't afford to pay the expenses. One of the items up for bid was for Rav Chaim Kanievsky to daven for one name. The St. Louis girls in Michlalah got together and decided to bid for it for the refuah shleimah of Meira Mindel bas Chava Golda. The bid sold for 13,000 shekel.

We all know the Breslers. They play a huge part in our community, and the recent news about Meira has affected each and every member of the St. Louis community. Following her parents' footsteps, Meira has also dedicated her life to helping our community and the Jewish community at large. Meira embodies excitement for life and passion for Torah. How perfect is it that this auction took place on Rosh Chodesh Adar, the time when we bring in happiness for the entire year! And the money from the auction will go towards making brides and grooms happy on their wedding day, and preparing them for a happy life together.

When tragedy strikes, it is a call for the community to unite in prayer and acts of kindness. As part of the St. Louis community, we felt that in addition to our personal prayers, having the gadol hador, Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlit"a, personally daven for Meirah Mindel bas Chava Golda, would be a huge merit for her speedy recovery.

Meira's name will be hand delivered to Rav Kanievsky by one of the rabbis at our school.

Please help us make this possible by contributing whatever you are able to give. No donation is too small.

With Hashem's help, we hope that we hear only good news and we merit to see Meira's full and speedy recovery.

Tizku L'Mitzvot, Eliana Biel, Shira Kandel, Tirtza Simon, Goldie Spetner, and Leia Wachsstock
