Shortly after the Yomim Noraim, hundreds of women joined a group called tefillaschanna@aol.com. On Rosh Hashannah, we read the accounts of both Sarah Imeinu and Channa, and their desire for children. Unfortunately, there are so many couples in our own neighborhoods and in Jewish communities across the world that spent the Yomim Noraim davening for children of their own.
In this light, a campaign was started that is twofold. First, women across the globe have committed to saying Tefillas Channa on Friday night after candle lighting on behalf of these young couples. Second, your help is needed to add to our already compiled list of the Hebrew names of the couples (both husband and wife) who find themselves in this unfortunate situation. The list is updated and e-mailed weekly. Names are kept on the list until a baby is born. Confidentiality is 100%, as only those who submit the names know who they are. It has become the first tefilla list were every name that came off the list would be for a very good reason (our first name was taken off last week after the birth of a baby girl). You are requested to update us when a name can be taken off the list, so that we can all share in the good news.
This is a worthwhile project, and we would truly appreciate your assistance and involvement. Please forward this e-mail to any and all friends and acquaintances you feel may be interested.
