Special Tefillah for Parents Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan

Leave a Comment

For recitation on erev Chodesh Sivan, this Thursday, May 9th.

The Shelah HaKadosh, composed a prayer that parents should recite for their children at any time of the year — but especially before Rosh Chodesh Sivan, for that is the month when G-d gave us the Torah, and when the Jewish people began to be called His Children.

Artscroll offers the following link of the complete prayer in Hebrew and English. Or here from tefillos.com.

The Mishna Berurah brings down that each day a parent should daven for not only himself, but that his children should have a portion in Torah. One should have this in mind in both bircas haTorah and U Va L’Tzion (l’mayan no liga larik).
