A special Shabbos Mevorchim Tehillim contest is being held in 12 Chabad overnight Gan Yisroel camps as well as Crown Heights.
Children are encouraged to recite Tehillim on Shabbos Mevorchim Av, and will be entered into a raffle at participating camps in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Detroit, and Montreal more, as well as at Bais Shmuel Chabad in Crown Heights.
The Tehillim is being recited in the merit of the safety of the Jews in Eretz Yisroel.
A raffle for a $150 gift certificate will be held in each camp. Each child who participates will receive a danish.
The project is held in memory of the bochur Shmuel Karnowsky OBM, who passed away at the young age of 15, and has grown and seen great success since being founded in his memory.
Shmuel’s parents, Osher and Rivka Karnowsky, wanted to do something special to honor the memory of their son, who was a straight-alef student and a diligent bochur who was beloved by his peers.
“We all know the great power of reciting words of Tehillim, and the many brochos which come from it, especially when it comes to children,” said Rabbi Moshe Pinson, President of Bais Shmuel Chabad in Crown Heights.
The project encourages children, boys and girls, to recite Tehillim in Shul on Shabbos Mevorchim. The children receive prizes and incentives for joining. This week, in honor of Shabbos Mevorchim Av, 12 boys and girls overnight camps, in addition to Bais Shmuel Shul boys and girls, who recite 30 kapitlach of Tehillim will be entered into a raffle for exciting prizes.
Hashem give you & the entire Jewish people great joy and health
May his neshama have the highest aliya
