A deeply moving tefillah gathering was held on the eve of Rosh Chodesh Sivan at the kever of the Shelah HaKadosh in Tiveria, organized by the Vaad HaRabbanim L’Inyanei Tzedakah B’Eretz HaKodesh. Gedolei Yisroel and roshei yeshiva from across the country came together, reciting the Tefillas HaShelah.
The highlight of the event came during the fiery and emotional address delivered by the renowned mashpia, Rav Elimelech Biderman. With heartfelt words that stirred the crowd, he spoke about the power of the moment and the holiness of the place.
During his remarks, Rav Biderman shared a powerful secret he had heard from Rav Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz zt”l. “He told me,” said Rav Biederman with emotion, “that generations of talmidim passed through his hands—sometimes four generations from the same family—and he noticed something astonishing: Often it was the weaker children who eventually grew to be the great talmidei chachamim and pillars of Torah. Why? Because for the regular children, the Tefillas HaShelah was said. But for the weak ones… for them, it was said with tears.”
