A special Shabbos Mevorchim Tehillim contest is being held in 11 overnight Gan Yisroel camps as well as Crown Heights.
Over 3,000 children are being encouraged to recite Tehillim on Shabbos Mevorchim Elul, and will be entered into a raffle at participating camps and Bais Shmuel Chabad in Crown Heights.
A raffle for a bike will be held in each camp. Each child who participates will receive a danish.
The project is held in memory of the bochur Shmuel Karnowsky OBM, who passed away at the young age of 15, and has grown and seen great success since being founded in his memory.
Shmuel’s parents, Osher and Rivka Karnowsky, wanted to do something special to honor the memory of their son, who was a straight-alef student and a diligent bochur who was beloved by his peers.
“We all know the great power of reciting words of Tehillim, and the many brochos which come from it, especially when it comes to children,” said Rabbi Moshe Pinson, President of Bais Shmuel Chabad in Crown Heights.
The project encourages children, boys and girls, to recite Tehillim in Shul on Shabbos Mevorchim. The children receive prizes and incentives for joining. This week, in honor of Shabbos Mevorchim Elul, 11 boys and girls overnight camps, in addition to Bais Shmuel Shul boys and girls, who recite 30 kapitlach of Tehillim will be entered into a raffle for exciting prizes.
