A special Shabbos Mevorchim Tehillim contest is being held in two overnight Gan Yisroel camps as well as Crown Heights.
Children are encouraged to recite Tehillim on Shabbos Mevorchim Elul, and will be entered into a raffle at CGI Parksville, CGI Montreal, and Bais Shmuel Chabad in Crown Heights.
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, boys in CGI Parksville as well as CGI Montreal, in addition to Bais Shmuel Shul boys and girls, who recite 30 kapitlach of Tehillim will be entered into a raffle for exciting prizes.
