YWN and [Aneinu] International Yom Limud and Tefillah on Yahrzeit of Chofetz Chaim
(For Chicago the time is 6:00am to 1:00pm)
Delegation of Prominent Rabbonim To Daven at Kever of Chofetz Chaim
By Chaim Gold
“A Yid came to the venerated Rosh Yeshiva, HaGaon HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman, shlita, begging him to daven for a person plagued with a terrible, terminal illness. He asked Rav Shteinman, ‘What should we do?’ Rav Shteinman answered, “I don’t know. Perhaps tefillah at the kever of the Chofetz Chaim could help?” This was the story used by Rav Chizkiyahu Yosef Mishkovsky, Menahel Ruachani of Yeshiva Orchos Torah, to describe the potency of tefillah at the kever of the Chofetz Chaim.
This coming 24 Elul/September 27, the yahrtzeit of the Chofetz Chaim, a delegation of prominent Rabbonim representing the cross-section of Torah observant Jewry will journey to Radin to daven on behalf of Klal Yisrael at the kever of the Chofetz Chaim.
The Two Sparkling Diamonds Bequeathed to Klal Yisroel by the Chofetz Chaim
Last year too, a large group of Rabbonim and Roshei Yeshiva journeyed to Radin to daven at the kever. At last year’s yom tefillah, Rav Mishkovsky related, “The Chofetz Chaim bequeathed many great treasures to Klal Yisrael, among them were two sparkling diamonds: the Sefer Mishnah Berurah and the Sefer Chofetz Chaim. Until now there were those who made the Mishnah Berurah their primary interest and others who gravitated to the Sefer Chofetz Chaim. Dirshu has brought both together and published special editions of each sefer thereby immeasurably enhancing the learning of them. They are the ones who can truly come to the kever of the Chofetz Chaim and say, ‘We learn your Mishnah Berurah, we learn your Chofetz Chaim, please grant a shana tova u’mesukah for all lomdei Dirshu and all of Klal Yisrael.’”
The Sefer HaGiborim
It is in this spirit that Dirshu has again invited all members of Klal Yisrael to be included in the “Sefer HaGiborim”. The Sefer HaGiborim is a sefer containing the names of all current Daf HaYomi B’Halacha learners as well as the names of any person who accepts upon himself to learn daily halacha with Daf HaYomi B’Halacha and mussar. The names will be placed at the kever and remain there as an eternal merit for those inscribed therein.
Anyone who accepts upon himself to start learning Daf HaYomi B'Halacha of Mishnah Berurah with the mussar portion of the learning schedule; anyone who accepted and actually started learning Daf HaYomi B'Halacha, even if he is unable to continue, will still be worthy of entry into the sefer. The kabbalah is to learn the essence – five days a week, it does not have to include the Friday/Shabbos chazara nor does it require taking the tests. Understandably, the kabbalah is to be made bli neder.
