Don’t Miss It: The Proven Segulah for Finding a Match Begins Now
Thousands of people of the House of Israel, and those offering prayers for salvation, will mark tomorrow, Thursday, beginning this evening, 26 Sivan, the yahrzeit of the divine Tanna Rabbi Yonatan ben Uziel, buried deep in the forest near the village of Amuka in the Upper Galilee. Rabbi Yonatan ben Uziel, who lived during the Second Temple period, is regarded in Jewish history as one of the greatest Tannaim and a prominent successor to Hillel the Elder. Over the past centuries, his grave has occupied a unique place in Jewish prayer and has become one of the most visited and best-known holy sites in the country. The famous segulah for finding a match at his resting place in Amuka has, over the years, developed into a well-established and recognized tradition, drawing tens of thousands of single men and women, as well as concerned parents. The holy site has become the most closely identified place in the country for prayer and requests for a match and a proper marriage.
The mass pilgrimage to the grave reaches its peak דווקא on the day of his passing, מתוך belief that the yahrzeit of the righteous man is a special hour of mercy in Heaven, when the gates of Heaven are open to receive the requests and supplications of those seeking to build their home.
Psalms, a candle, and charity
The many visitors expected to arrive in northern Israel tomorrow are expected to observe the site’s traditional customs in order to awaken heavenly mercy. Many of them will combine their stay at the grave with the recitation of chapters of Psalms, lighting memorial candles in memory of the Tanna, giving a coin to charity, and offering a personal and sincere prayer from the depths of the heart. Due to the expected arrival of a large crowd during the day and evening, visitors are advised to check traffic and parking arrangements in the Amuka area and on the roads leading to it.
