ESITE:
THE SATMAR REBBE’S GRAV
A Place For Yeshuos A baby is born, in the merit of the Satmar Rebbe
One wintry Friday morning, a year and a half ago, a childless couple was on their way to the Catskills for Shabbos. As they passed Kiryas Yoel in Monroe, the husband turned to his wife with a suggestion. Perhaps they should make a stop at the gravesite of the Satmar Rebbe? They were not Satmar Chassidim, but they had heard enough about the Rebbe zt”l to know that he had dedicated his life to helping Jews from all walks of life. Perhaps this was where their yeshua was meant to come from, in the merit of the tzaddik? The couple drove up to the cemetery and walked up to the Rebbe’s ohel, their hearts full of hope and prayer. He stood on the men’s side, while she entered the women’s area. As it happened, and we know that nothing happens by coincidence, they arrived during the morning hours, when the Tehillim Kollel, consisting of a minyan of serious bnei Torah, gathers to recite sefer Tehillim from beginning to end, in fervent concentration, on a daily basis. Husband and wife sensed that this must be a time of special divine mercy, that the gates of heaven were now open to receiving their pleas for a child of their own.
They joined the Tehillim Kollel in recitation of the entire tehillim, over the course of two incredibly inspiring hours. Later, as they made their way back to the car, exhausted but elevated, the wife wondered aloud whether this was a day with special meaning in the Satmar Chassidus, considering that a group of chashuve bnei Torah had just appeared for such an intense prayer session. Her husband, who had already made the acquaintance of the dedicated members of the minyan, smiled as he informed her that this was a daily occurrence. Hashem had led them to the right place at the right time, and the next step was obvious to both of them. They contacted the Tehillim Kollel offices to sign up as members, to have their names recited in fervent supplication during the daily tehillim minyan at the tzion. Indeed, their “coincidental” stop on that Friday morning proved to be the seeds from which sprouted their salvation. The Tehillim Kollel continued to daven for them every day, and within a year, husband and wife became the proud, immensely grateful parents of a beautiful baby boy.
The Satmar Rebbe’s gravesite is a place where many come to pray for yeshuos. Tehillim Kollel has a regular minyan of Bnei Torah reciting the entire sefer Tehillim at the tzion on a daily basis. This year, on the upcoming Yartzeit, you too can reap the benefits of prayers recited on your behalf, in the merit of the tzaddik. Sign up today with Tehillim Membership at the Satmar Rebbe's Tzion:
