For someone waiting for a shidduch, a family longing for children, or a person in need of a refuah, the words of Tehillim give expression to hopes that can be difficult to put into words.

This Shabbos Chaya Sora, November 7,  27 Cheshvan, Tehillim on Klaf Tefilah will arrange for Talmidei Chachamim to recite the entire Sefer Tehillim at Me’aras HaMachpelah in Chevron. Names may be submitted for shidduchim, refuah, children, and all personal requests.

The connection between this parshah and Chevron is especially meaningful. In Parshas Chaya Sora, we read of Avraham Avinu’s purchase of Me’aras HaMachpelah and the burial of Sarah Imeinu there. The parshah then turns to Eliezer’s mission to find a wife for Yitzchak Avinu—a mission accompanied by tefilah and culminating in the marriage of Yitzchak and Rivkah. These events bring together our connection to the Avos and Imahos and our hopes for the future of the Jewish home.

For those awaiting their own yeshuah, these themes carry a deeply personal message. The desire to build a home, raise a family, and see loved ones healthy and well continues from one generation to the next. Turning to Hashem in tefilah is part of that enduring connection.

Me’aras HaMachpelah, the resting place of the Avos and Imahos, holds a cherished place in the hearts of Klal Yisroel. On the very Shabbos when its purchase is read in shuls around the world, this initiative offers an opportunity to have a name included in the recitation of the entire Sefer Tehillim at this makom kadosh.

Whether requesting tefilah for yourself, a relative, or a friend, you may submit a name together with a personal request.

May Hashem accept the tefilos of Klal Yisroel b’rachamim u’vratzon, and may we be zocheh to hear besoros tovos.
