Influential Rabbi Offers Ancient Prayer Ritual for New Year's Eve

JDNReligious
Translated & summarized from JDN by baba
The story · English

Rabbi Elimelech Biderman, a prominent spiritual influencer, has revealed a centuries-old custom for the first night of Rosh Hashanah, a time when Jewish tradition holds that fates for the coming year are decided. He advises reciting the entire Book of Psalms twice on this sacred night, a practice he learned from past righteous figures.

Rabbi Biderman states that each year, individuals share extraordinary stories of miracles that occurred after observing this custom. These accounts include miraculous recoveries from severe illnesses, infertile couples conceiving after long periods of waiting, individuals finding suitable marriage partners, and those burdened by debt experiencing financial abundance. These individuals, he notes, found relief and prosperity through reciting Psalms twice on the first night of Rosh Hashanah.

This year, Rabbi Biderman will personally perform the ritual of reciting the Psalms twice at the Western Wall, a site of immense holiness. Following this, he will pray by name for donors to the 'Va'ad Harabanim' (Council of Rabbis), seeking blessings and salvation for them during this auspicious time when the gates of heaven are believed to be open.

The rabbi emphasizes that while performing the ritual oneself is highly commendable, his prayer for donors at this holy site, after completing the custom himself, offers an additional powerful spiritual advantage. He encourages everyone to participate, highlighting the opportunity to combine the merit of charity through 'Va'ad Harabanim' with his prayers at the Western Wall for a blessed and prosperous year.
