Link to Parent's Prayer Written by the Shelah Hakodesh - For Day Before Rosh Chodesh Sivan

All parents want the best for their children — that they should be good and upright, that they have everything they need for a fruitful, joyous life.

The classic work, Shelah HaKadosh, contains a prayer that parents should recite for their children at any time of the year — but especially on the day before Rosh Chodesh Sivan, for that is the month when God gave us the Torah, and when the Jewish people began to be called His Children. On that day, he writes, fathers and mothers should give charity to the poor and repent. They should even fast, if they are able to.

Here is the link to the prayer on Artscroll's Website.

Thank You to Our Maggidei Shiur

R' Ruby Ginsberg

R' Yechzkel Rosenberg
R' Moshe Schwerd
