On Wednesday, November 1st, the organization "Kupat Ha'Ir" will host a special event where prominent rabbis, referred to as the "Gedolei HaDor" (greatest leaders of the generation), will gather. The event will take place at the home of Rosh Yeshiva Boruch Dov Povarsky. During the gathering, the rabbis will pray and sign a special document called "Muvtachim LeChaim" (Guaranteed for Life) for the year 5787 (2026-2027). This occasion is linked to the first day of the Hebrew month of Kislev, which is considered auspicious for prayer, repentance, and changing decrees, akin to Yom Kippur, according to the writings of the Hatam Sofer. Donors who submit their names will have them mentioned specifically during the prayers for blessings, protection, health, and long life for themselves and their families. Following the prayers, the rabbis will sign the "Muvtachim LeChaim" documents for the donors, emphasizing the power of charity to avert death. This is presented as the final opportunity this year to participate in this event, have names prayed for by the leading rabbis, and receive the "Guaranteed for Life" vow for the upcoming year.
