Last year, I had an experience that I never thought that I, a regular guy from Baltimore, would be able to have: I prayed in shul next to Rav Chaim Kanievsky on Rosh Hashana. It totally transformed my davening, and set me on the right track for the year to come. But how did I, a normal father-of-3, pull this off? Let me explain:

It is Erev Yom Hadin. We are busy with seemingly mundane things; showering the children and wiping the kitchen floor. Putting away the pots, taking out a baking pan, back to the store for more challos, setting the timer for the lights and maybe the air conditioner too…

In another minute the Mishpat begins. Fatal decisions affecting an entire year. Life is hanging in the balance. Recent events demonstrated what can happen.

Most would love to be at the Kosel Hamaaravi right now, standing by the holy, ancient stones and offer a prayer that immediately flies up straight to Heaven.

Dear Friend,
Frosted Glass doors. Out-of-the-way location. And a nameplate:
“Bobbie’s Place.”
Open the doors, and step into a world of smiles, warmth – and racks and racks of beautiful, current, brand-new children’s clothing.
The only thing missing? A cash register.
Bobbie’s Place was founded on a simple belief:
Every child deserves a chance to look good – and even struggling families deserve a Yom Tov season filled with Simcha, not stress.
Because for so many children and their families, clothes shopping is not just about an endless list of errands and long lines in the boutiques.
Because when there’s no money, there’s no wardrobe to buy.

On the Chofetz Chaim’s Yahrtzeit (24 Elul), you have a unique opportunity to bring the merit of Shmiras Haloshon to advocate for your friends and family for a good, healthy, prosperous year. The Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation, dedicated to spreading the Chofetz Chaim’s teachings, is running a “Tip the Scale” Charidy Matching Campaign (charidy.com/cchf) aimed at raising $500,000 for its extensive, global network of programs to foster the mitzvos bein adam l’chaveiro.

There was a time where Avraham Tefelinskii had it all: A happy marriage, 10 healthy kids, a nice home and successful business. He raised his kids to be Bnei Torah and he gave a lot of Tzedakah. Eight years ago, everything changed when a “friend” he trusted stole his money and left him in heavy debts. Overnight, he was impoverished. When his window broke, there was no money to fix it, so it remained shattered. Most of his furniture is in disrepair.

Since the pandemic started, “Yitzi,” a seven year old living in Beit Shemesh, has had it rough. Before Covid 19, although his family lived month to month, they always had enough food to provide “Yitzi” and his siblings with three hot meals a day. Today, “Yitzi” is lucky if he even has breakfast before school or dinner in the evening. Aches from his hunger pangs are making it hard for him to sleep. He can’t concentrate in school. During lunch break, he looks longingly at his friends eating lunch and davens that tomorrow he will be just like them.

“Yitzi” is not alone: There are 20,000 kids just like him who have recently been impoverished due to the virus, a fact that is distressing Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlit”a.
