On the eve of Rosh Chodesh Sivan. Masses of Jews fill the gravel block surrounding the landmark of the Holy grave, and make their plea there. This day, according to the Holy Shla, is capable of receiving prayers in general and prayers for offspring in particular. The sound of prayer rises from everywhere in every style and every accent, but with unified content: "Let us and our descendants and descendants of all the people of Israel know your name and your Torah ..." (from the Shlah prayer)
A certain group of Jewish mothers who pray with emotion and shed tears like water stood there among the hundreds of worshipers. “Our father, the merciful, give everyone a long life,” their lips whispered a tearful cry, oh our father, the merciful, long life, long life … No one will understand it at the same depth as they feel these words every day, month, Shabbat and holiday.
These are the mothers of our generation, and the essence and symbol of Jewish heroism.
Mothers who raise children and girls like all life challenges – but do it alone. The father of the children, a heavenly observer acting in their favor. But the difficult daily work of educating and satisfying the needs of the children – lies on their shoulders only, with no real partner in the world.
How sweet is this prayer before Hashem on this great day and in this sacred and capable place – The women are here through the veteran Nachzik Chazak organization, which they greatly appreciate.
Nachzik Chazak is an enterprise of generous Jews who have raised their flag to give strength to the widowed and orphan families, to continue to hold strong despite the fracture and the loss. Throughout the year, and especially during the Jewish holidays, when the loss is most strongly felt, crying out, the organization has embarked on a variety of original and impressive activities whose sole purpose is to provide joyous moments for families struggling in the shadow of the disaster.
