Get Your Blessing Here

By COLlive reporter

Practically anyone who has been to Crown Heights for Tishrei has benefitted from Nachum Markowitz’s Grand Kiddushim and distributions.

The iconic scene of a fleet of trucks carrying a cargo of massive quantities of food and beverage is a staple of Tishrei in Lubavitch and is enjoyed by all.

From the visiting Australian Yeshivah student, the guest from Israel, the Crown Heights real estate tycoon or a Rebbi in a local boy’s school, all can be seen enjoying hot meat, soup, fish, produce, or a refreshing bottle of water alongside a sea of thousands.

What began as a quasi-meal for Tahalucha goers over three decades ago is now an organized month-long project that provides nourishment over the holidays.

Each year the Kiddushim expand, in accordance to the Rebbe’s blessing to Reb Nachum that the project be an everlasting initiative that is constantly growing and increasing in size. This year, just days shy of the centerpiece of his Kidushim and distributions, Markowitz has launched a new site, Kidush.org offering the public the ability to participate in the vast undertaking.

Many have attributed Brochos in the area of Shiduchim, children, and livelihood to their support of this cause. COLlive shared donors Yerachmiel and Rivkah Leah Jacobson’s experience of receiving a blessing for a baby boy two years ago. Since then, many have reported Brochos in their lives and point to the Kidushim and the Rebbe’s blessings in its regard with gratitude.
