Kozmir Rebbe Leads Selichot Prayers at Prophet Samuel's Tomb

By זאב בלוי
Translated & summarized from JDN by baba
The story · English

The Rebbe of Kozmir led a special Selichot (penitential prayers) service, reciting the "13 Attributes of Mercy," at the tomb of Prophet Samuel on Thursday night, September 26, 2026. The event, which took place on the 13th of Tishrei, drew a significant number of Hasidim and followers.

The tomb of Prophet Samuel, located in the West Bank near the Palestinian village of Nabi Samwil, is a significant religious site for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. It is customary for many to visit the site during the High Holy Days and other significant Jewish periods for prayer and supplication.

The Kozmir Rebbe's presence and leadership of the prayers underscore the spiritual importance of the site and the ongoing traditions observed by Hasidic communities. The service concluded with prayers for the well-being of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
