PLEASE SEND ANY UPDATES (NEW NAMES TO ADD TO LIST)
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:
NOTE:Parshas Chaya Sara (November 22nd) and Parshas Vayetze
(December 6th) 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
