Rabbi Koldetzky to Bless Followers at Tomb of Patriarchs

On the upcoming Saturday night, influential Rabbi Yitzchak Koldetzky will visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron. This location is significant as it is the burial site of Patriarchs Yitzchak and Yaakov. The visit is timed to coincide with the weekly Torah portion of "Toldot," which recounts the blessings Yitzchak bestowed upon his son Yaakov.

Traditionally, Jewish people recite these verses on Saturday nights as a good omen, seeking abundance in livelihood, the removal of financial obstacles, and the blessing of children. The article emphasizes that "reading awakens the time," meaning the Torah reading has a profound impact on people's fates. Specifically, the blessing "Veyiten Lecha" (May He Give You) from the Torah portion is believed to be particularly potent for financial prosperity, enabling one to "be a master to your brothers."

Rabbi Koldetzky, described as the son-in-law of the late Rabbi of Torah, will recite the blessings for livelihood, marriage, and children at the site. He will specifically mention the names of donors to "Kupat Ha'ir" (The City Fund) during the prayers, believing that the merit of the time, the holy site, and charity will bring them the blessings.

Following the prayers, Rabbi Koldetzky will sign documents inscribed with the blessings "Veyiten Lecha - Be a Master to Your Brothers," "Lakach Lach Isha" (Take Yourself a Wife), and "Veyifroch Verabech" (May He Make You Fruitful and Multiply) for those who make significant and regular donations to the fund.
