Tonight It Happens, An Urgent Prayer in Amuka for a Match Before Rosh Hashanah
Thousands suffer from a long wait until the day they merit to break a plate and become engaged with joy and success. Every year, regrettably, the number of those delayed in finding a match grows, and more and more young men and women join this circle, a circle of those awaiting salvation, pleading for a match.
The cry of those delayed in shidduchim reached the desks of the leaders of “Kupa Tair,” who together with the righteous sage Rabbi Mordechai Shmuel Edelstein decided to hold a magnificent prayer gathering that will tear open the gates of heaven for hundreds and thousands.

Tonight, the yahrzeit of the divine Tanna Yonatan ben Uziel, the “master of salvations,” Rabbi Mordechai Shmuel Edelstein, will travel north to the holy site in Amuka to conduct the rite of atonement and annulment of curses for donors to Kupa Tair, and to pray for the boys and girls of Israel who are awaiting their match. By the principle of measure for measure, through charity for poor brides in Kupa Tair and through the annulment-of-curses and atonement ceremony, they will merit to become engaged by Rosh Hashanah 5787.
Rabbi M.S. received from the great scholar, the master of Torah, our teacher Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, of blessed memory, that with a donation of 513 shekels, the numerical value of “groom-bride,” and with an additional atonement payment, the gematria of the donor’s name plus “match” equals 22 shekels, it is possible to bring about a great salvation in Amuka and become engaged by the coming Rosh Hashanah!!!! As a sign and testimony, for donors of the amount set by Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, of blessed memory, and with an atonement payment corresponding to the numerical value of their name, Rabbi M.S. will personally hand each one a bottle of wine, as a sign and testimony, for good luck and success, so that they will merit to thank God and drink a l’chaim at the engagements that will take place through the principle of measure for measure and the court decree by Rosh Hashanah 5787.
After the prayer, Rabbi M.S. will sign the shidduch document, by the decree of the King, that they will merit to become engaged by Rosh Hashanah 5787. Next week, Rabbi M.S. will distribute to all donors the special plate and the tenaim document as a sign and testimony of the near salvation.
