Erev Rosh Chodesh Adar I Was a Yom Tefilloh
By Yechiel Sever
Following calls issued by gedolei Yisroel shlita
— members of Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Degel HaTorah
and Agudas Yisroel as well as Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of
America, including Maran HaRav Eliashiv shlita —
to unite in tefilloh and tachnunim in light of
the difficult state of affairs in Eretz Hakodesh,
kehillos around the world held special
tefillos, including the prayers of Yom Kippur Koton,
on Tuesday, Erev Rosh Chodesh Adar Rishon, laying forth
supplications and asking Borei Olom to take pity on
His people and to deliver them.
In their notices gedolei Yisroel said they are filled
with dread over the situation in Eretz Hakodesh, where nobody
knows what the next day holds in store as sorrows mount both
externally and internally. Various perils threaten both body
and soul, whether they physically endanger entire communities
or whether they endanger pure Torah-based education and
kodshei Yisroel.
"In order to arouse rachamim we must strengthen
ourselves in Torah, tefilloh and maasim tovim,"
wrote gedolei Yisroel, "and HaKodosh Boruch Hu will
hear our outcry and shine His Face upon us, and then we will
be delivered for ever and ever."
