  • Kabbalist Rabbi Natanel Shriki led a prayer mission across Europe with over 50 students.
  • The group visited Jewish holy sites in the Czech Republic, Lithuania, and Poland.
  • Prayers were offered for the welfare of the Jewish people and IDF soldiers.
  • A significant stop included prayers at the Majdanek concentration camp.

Kabbalist Rabbi Natanel Shriki, head of the "Tehilat Shalom" institutions in Netivot, recently concluded a spiritual journey across Europe with over 50 yeshiva students. The group visited the graves of prominent rabbis in the Czech Republic, Lithuania, and Poland, including a deeply moving ceremony at the Majdanek concentration camp.

The mission's primary focus was fervent prayer for the welfare of the Jewish people, the safety of IDF soldiers, and protection against threats from the East, amid concerns of escalating conflict on multiple fronts. The prayers also included pleas for the recovery of the wounded and the strengthening of Israel's security.

During their visit to the grave of Rabbi Meir of Krakow in Poland, on the anniversary of the October 7th massacre, the group held special prayers for the souls of those killed and victims of the holiday atrocities, expressing deep solidarity with the bereaved families.

A particularly poignant moment occurred at the Majdanek death camp, where the kabbalist and students commemorated the millions murdered there. They prayed for the elevation of the Holocaust victims' souls and cried out for divine protection for the remaining Jewish people, asking for the thwarting of enemies' plans and the bestowal of unconditional love and complete salvation upon all.

According to a source close to Prime Minister Netanyahu, prayers known as "Mi Sheberach" are recited before dramatic operations, suggesting a connection between spiritual practices and military actions.
