The tomb of Rabbi Gdalyah Moshe of Zwohill, revered for drawing seekers of salvation, is a site of pilgrimage throughout the year. Many visit specifically on Mondays and Thursdays, following a well-known tradition believed to bring miracles, particularly for healing and suitable matches.

On Wednesday, Cheshvan 24, the anniversary of the Rabbi's passing, a special prayer service will be held. Rabbi Naftali Nussbaum, a prominent rabbinic authority, will lead the "Kupat Ha'ir" charity's special blessing ritual for donors. This service, part of the "Monday, Thursday, Monday" tradition, will continue starting the Monday after the anniversary.

Participants' names will be mentioned three times consecutively at the holy site, with specific prayers for the donor's needs, including healing, finding a spouse, and other matters. This offers a unique opportunity to join the prayer ceremony and submit names for remembrance.

The donation for this blessing is 397 shekels, corresponding to the numerical value of "Gdalyah Moshe." After the completion of the three-part "Monday, Thursday, Monday" blessing ritual, Rabbi Nussbaum will sign a "salvation document" for donors who commit to 36 monthly payments of 99 shekels.
