Top Rabbi Promises Immense Wealth for Donations to Charity
A special "Wealth Ceremony" will be held on Tuesday, October 10th, the intermediate days of Sukkot, led by Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch, a prominent halachic authority. During the event, Rabbi Sternbuch will bless all donors who contribute to the "Kupat Ha'ir" charity fund in the amount of 727 shekels, promising them "immense wealth" in the Hebrew year 5787 (2026-2027).
The ceremony is scheduled for the 18th of Tishrei, a date considered auspicious for wealth, as it is the day Joseph the Patriarch is traditionally welcomed into the Sukkah. The article explains this connection through Joseph's role in saving Egypt and surrounding lands from famine, referencing ancient Kabbalistic texts.
Individuals who donate four times the amount of 727 shekels will receive a "Certificate of Immense Wealth" personally signed by Rabbi Sternbuch. He signed this certificate on the eve of Yom Kippur, stating that "Kupat Ha'ir," founded by the late Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, is the most esteemed form of charity. He emphasized that donating to this fund before the High Holy Days is a great merit.
The certificate details the blessing: donors contributing the equivalent of one month's support for a needy family will, in turn, be blessed with immense wealth for the entire year. Rabbi Sternbuch affirmed this promise, citing the Shulchan Aruch, which states that charity enriches its giver, and pledged that God would bestow great wealth upon them in 5787.
He concluded the certificate by stating his certainty that these donations, which support needy families and orphans across Israel, are a merit that averts harsh decrees and brings life and wealth to those who give. The article notes that the period of judgment is not yet over, with Hoshana Rabbah approaching, and encourages readers to participate in the ceremony and receive the rabbi's blessing and signed certificate.
