First Hachnosas sefer Tehillim in the United States.
(Courtesy of Tehillim on Klaf Tefilah) Last Monday, on Rosh Chodesh Elul, a groundbreaking new era for Tehillim began that will surely ignite the power of Tehillim to a whole new level and experience.
Tehillim on klaf tefillah is committed to creating a more powerful Tehillim tefillah when reading from a klaf. Klal Yisrael needs so many yeshuas and refuahs, now more than ever before. What could be more beneficial in these times than uniting to join a daily Tehillim tefillah being read from a handwritten Sefer Tehillim on klaf written by a sofer mumcha? This experience embodies the authentic powers of Tehillim as Dovid Hamelech wrote it. Tehillim on klaf tefillah is a first of its kind and its tefillos serve as a source of tefillah, yeshuas and hope for klal Yisrael globally.
Tehillim on klaf has received the brachos and chizuk of gedolim of our days including Harav Chaim Kanievsky, who stated that a Tehillim on klaf will bring bracha.
Harav Malkiel Kotler said that al pi Kabbalah, Tehillim from a klaf is on a high level of kedusha.
Harav Shmuel Kamenetzky stated that Tehillim from a klaf has kedusha like tefillin and a sefer Torah.
Harav Baruch Povarsky said that there is more kedusha to a Tehillim on klaf.
Harav Shlomo Amar stated that the oisiyos are mehudar in a klaf.
Harav Yaakov Horowitz said there’s a higher kedusha when Tehillim is written b’kedusha u’b’tahara on a klaf.
Harav Dovid Goldwasser stated that Tehillim from a klaf is a shmira for klal Yisrael.
Harav Melach Biderman said it’s a big zechus to use a Tehillim on klaf.
The Satmar Rebbe, Harav Aron Teitlebaum, shlita, stated: “I have never seen anything like this… tremendous kedusha.”
Harav Eliezer Ginsburg stated that this Sefer Tehillim and the daily program will bring klal Yisrael to say Tehillim as Dovid Hamelech stated it from a klaf.
The klaf of Tehillim is stationed in the heart of Boro Park, close to the Maimonides Hospital. All Tehillim is read from a klaf, led by talmidei chachamim. The Tehillim can be joined in person or through a live stream daily, chapter by chapter.
The first live-streamed, open-participation Tehillim recital combined with the first Tehillim that unites klal Yisrael with tefillah daily out of a hand-written klaf brings yeshuas and bracha to the tzibur.
It all started on Monday, Rosh Chodesh Elul, with a lively hachnosas sefer Tehillim celebration that took place on 51th st in the heart of Boro Park. The event started with kesivas haosyiyos in which the final letters at the end of the Tehillim scroll were inked in by leading rabbanim followed by live music and dancing by young and old.
The next day, Tuesday afternoon, the daily Tehillim tefillah live-stream program started. “The Steipler Gaon, zt”l, writes in Karyana D’Igarta that Tehillim handwritten on a klaf has a special kedusha and a unique power in its prayers; the tefillah is “Retzuyah u’mekubeles b’yoser”—on a higher level and meriting greater acceptance Above.
The Tehillim on klaf is stationed at 1254 51st Street and is streamed live on www.tehillimonklaftefilah.org Sunday- Thursday at 1:00 p.m. (EST), 8:00 p.m. (Israel).
