Subject: [chicago-aneinu] Shir Hashirim Project for Shidduchim

It's that time of year again! We gather 40 women to recite Shir Hashirim as a segula for the single girls and boys in our community, to correspond with the parshiyos related to shidduchim - Chaya Sara (this Friday night - November 10th) and two weeks later for Vayetze (November 24th).

Boruch Hashem, we have had so many Simchos over the past year, but we are davening to be zoche to celebrate many more!

PLEASE LET US KNOW IF WE CAN INCLUDE YOU IN OUR 40++ WOMEN THAT WILL BE SAYING SHIR HASHIRIM. 

WE WILL THEN SEND YOU THE LIST OF SINGLES TO DAVEN FOR. 

PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL AND TELL US TO INCLUDE YOU. 

Please send to elliech1@sbcglobal.net .

 ·         If you have any friends who can join our list to recite Shir Hashirim by candle lighting time please forward this email (the more people say it the better) and let us know. We want to add their names and email addresses to our list (for periodic updates) and we want to make sure that we have at least 40 women saying Shir Hashirim.

 ·         If you have any girls or boys in shidduchim to add to our list please let us know. The criteria for our list is:

1.    the girl/boy has to be Chicago- based,

2.    in shidduchim, and

3.    has to be at least a year back from seminary (or for a boy- in shidduchim)

Please send us their name (include last name please for our purposes only) Hebrew name bas/ben Hebrew name of mother.

May we share in many simchos this year! 

PLEASE SEND ANY UPDATES (NEW NAMES TO ADD TO LIST) BY MONDAY NOV 6th to elliech1@sbcglobal.net

 

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:

 

NOTE:Parshas Chaya Sara (November 10th) and Parshas Vayetze (November 24th) are the parshiyos of shidduchim. There is a special segula to say Shir Hashirim every erev Shabbos – but especially on the parshiyos of shidduchim – it is a segula to say Shir Hashirim at candlelighting and have in mind the singles that are in need of shidduchim.

You can find Shir Hashirim in the davening for Erev Shabbos - or in your Tanach (it is one of the Megillas). In the siddur, after Shir Hashirim there is a beautiful Rebon Kol HaOlamim to say when you are finished saying Shir Hashirim. Ideally, one should finish Shir Hashirim, say the Rebon Kol HaOlamim and ask HKBH to send the "zivug hagon b'mehara" (proper shidduch quickly) and read the list of names before Shkia (18-20 minutes after candlelighting).

 

If this is too difficult for you to manage before Shkia - this is what you can do (according to the Bais HaVaad of Lakewood).  

NOTE: You can say Shir Hashirim, the Rebon Kol HaOlamim, and the names anytime on Friday, if that is easier for you.

 1. Please say the Rebon Kol HaOlamim that is after the Shir Hashirim and the girls'/boys' names with Licht Benching – either before or after is fine. Have in mind that you are going to say Shir Hashirim later.

NOTE:  If you are saying the Tefilla BEFORE you say Shir Hashirim - you will have to change the tense of some of the verbs from "Past" to "Future". If you need help with that - email me and I will see if I can guide you.

The reason we are recommending that you say the Tefilla first (not the normal approach) is that we usually do not say Tefillos with bakashos on Shabbos. (We were told we can say it - if we say it with licht benching). If you are not going to be saying the Shir Hashirim right away - you will not be able to say the Tefilla later. Therefore, the psak that Rivkie was given is that you can say the Tefilla first with the names - and then say the Shir Hashirim later.

When you say the girls' names - please have in mind that we are asking Hashem to send them their proper shidduchim soon.

 

2. You can say the Shir Hashirim right afterwards – or if it is too difficult to say the Shir Hashirim then, you can say it anytime that night – even after your Seudas Shabbos.

IY'H I will try to send a reminder email on the Fridays of Parshas Chaya Sara and Vayetze

Thank you for all your help

May all of our tefillos be mekuyam and may we all share in many simchos this year

 

Ellie Cherrick and Rivkie Levitin
