There is unprecedented excitement and real drama in the Torah world these days, following the unveiling of a rare letter from Rabbi Moshe Shternbuch. After a long period of wandering and hardship in which the yeshiva had been living, the Torah institution is now facing a historic milestone, establishing itself in permanent buildings of its own. The major event has generated wide response, but what made the celebration extraordinary was Rabbi Shternbuch’s rare step of deciding, in light of the moment, to offer a personal blessing to anyone who extends a hand and helps establish the new building. Those close to him say this is an opportunity unlike any seen before, in which such a detailed and rare blessing is placed within reach of every Jewish home. Rabbi Shternbuch himself sat and composed, in his own holy handwriting, a special text of a “house blessing” intended only for those who partner in building the structure.

In his letter, he explains that the act works on the principle of measure for measure, writing in his holy language: “In the merit of your partnership in building the House of God in our holy yeshiva, you will merit measure for measure from God that He will join you in your home for good.” The real drama lies in the rest of the letter, in which the Posek HaDor lists no fewer than ten explicit blessings covering all of a person’s needs, promising them clearly to anyone who helps: “You will see great salvations and your home will be filled with God’s blessing, and peace will dwell in your home, and you will merit much holy satisfaction from your children, long life, good health, with abundant livelihood, amid peace of mind and breadth of spirit, and no trouble, sorrow or distress will come to your home, only goodness in your tents all the days. With blessings to all the partners.”

At the yeshiva’s Friends Committee, they say news of the rare blessing certificate has spread widely, and many are seeking the chance to bring this exceptional promise into their homes. The yeshiva administration has set up accessible participation plans to allow everyone to embrace the blessing with ease. Under the main plan, a donation of 60 shekels for 30 months grants the ten blessings and the blessing certificate. Committee representatives say this is a historic opportunity, in which Rabbi Shternbuch’s explicit promises can be obtained easily, and all that remains is to extend a hand, take part in building the House of God, and bring the blessing home.
