On Tuesday, Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan — the third annual “לשפוך שיח” prayer journey took place: a powerful and emotional gathering for fathers of children with special needs who traveled from across Israel to unite with one heart and pour out their prayers – heartfelt tefillot for their children and for all of Am Yisrael.
The journey began with an uplifting prayer at the holy site of Meron, by the resting place of the divine Tanna, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai. There, nestled in the hills of the Galilee, the fathers stood in deep connection, their voices merging into one unified cry — filled with emotion, unity, and profound closeness to Hashem.
From there, the group continued on to the kever of the Shlah HaKadosh, on the special day known as a segulah for prayers for children. The powerful tefillah was led by the inspirational HaRav Elimelech Biderman shlit”a, who offered heartfelt words that stirred the souls of all present. His message, delivered with burning sincerity, echoed in their hearts like an inner voice of strength, faith, and renewed hope.
A most stirring moment came during the recitation of “Yom Kippur Katan” — a time of raw, pure tefillah, elevated by awakening and longing. No distractions, no barriers — only open hearts and sincere cries to Heaven.
Throughout the journey, words of encouragement were shared by Rabbi Shimon Levy, CEO of Seeach Sod, who spoke from the heart — in a language that embraced and illuminated. Several fathers also shared personal reflections that touched everyone deeply and left a lasting impression.
The entire journey was a living testament to the power of unity — hundreds of fathers speaking the same language, understanding one another without words, joined in a deep spiritual experience and heartfelt tefillah for their children, for their families, and for Klal Yisrael.
May all these heartfelt tefillot be accepted with mercy and favor, and may we soon merit to see blessing and joy in all our endeavors.
