The Amazing “Segulah”
One of the yeshiva’s fund raising programs has become widely
known as an amazing “segulah” that has resulted in salvation for
thousands of people. Stories have been told of sick people who have been
miraculously healed, those who had been unable to have children have conceived,
Jews have been brought back to Torah observance, and many other wonders
and miracles. That which began as a routine fundraising program took only
a short while to make itself known as a special gift from heaven and one
of the means of salvation that the Creator has granted to the sick and
unfortunate in these dark days.
Approximately ten years ago, the yeshiva began to create
a way for friends of the yeshiva to earn a portion of the spiritual merit
accrued in either a part of the Beis Midrash of the yeshiva or during a
particular day. At the same time, a group of the yeshiva’s students undertook
to pray for donors at the Western Wall. The program soon became well-known,
and people began contacting the yeshiva telling of supernatural successes
and extraordinary acts of salvation that had come about in the wake of
their joining the donation program. The number of people who attribute
miracles to their participation in the program has reached the thousands
and and continues to grow. It appears as though the merit of Yerushalayim,
the Western Wall, and the prayers of the yeshiva students together with
Rabbi Eliezer Berland, work together to pierce the heavens and arouse G–d’s
mercy.
In light of the program’s helpfulness and importance,
the yeshiva’s administration has reconfigured the program so that it can
be joined by anyone. Right now, the yeshiva offers donors three different
possibilities:
“Parnas Yom”—The donor supports a day of
the institutions’ activities and earns the merit of all that day’s learning
and prayers.
“Boneh Yerushalayim”—The donor acquires
a part of the Beis Midrash in the yeshiva of the size of one square cubit
and earns the particular merit of all the mitzvahs, prayers and
learning that occur in that area.
“Kesser Yisrael”—The donor acquires a stone
in the synagogue that is being built in the Old City.
Those who are interested may contact the yeshiva by telephone
Jerusalem (02) 628 2885 or
email,
and have a representative visit their home to share further details and
information about the programs. (Representatives are available both in
Israel and America.)
