Better Than A Segulah

When faced with life challenges, the merit of good deeds can affect miraculous salvations. Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah is a vehicle through which people weathering challenge can tap into the greatest source of merit: Torah study.

Whether it is good health, finding one’s life partner, the blessing of children or financial success that one is seeking, what greater source of blessing is there than the eternal source of blessing – Torah itself? A Segulah is wonderful, but when all is said and done, if it doesn’t ‘work’, what is one left with? However, with Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah, no matter what, the tremendous merit of Torah study and supporting Torah scholars remains a merit for the supporter forever.

The Torah, the lifeblood of the Jewish nation, is the most powerful source of Divine blessing that exists in this world. When one is unable to do the learning on one’s own, how meritorious to commission accomplished Torah scholars to do so on one’s behalf.

Individuals experiencing challenges themselves, or their family and friends seeking a spiritual avenue of assisting them, are discovering the treasure Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah has to offer. Come explore your options how Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah can assist you and your loved ones to overcome their personal challenges.

To the very chashuva organization Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah,

I read about your organization in the Binah magazine and decided to give it a try for a friend of mine who needed a shidduch.

On the completion of the 40 days the first time around, I met boy #1 and it did not work out, but I continued with Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah – we got involved with boy #2, we met, and things were running smoothly… in the end – it didn’t work out.

The second time the 40 days was completed, boy #2 got engaged.

I continued with Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah – with the completion of 40 days for the third time, boy #1 got engaged!

It was puzzling… am I doing the right thing?

I am getting friendly messages from Above… but…

I continued with Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah – going stronger, this time a chapter of Mishnah a day instead of a Mishnah a day.

The fourth time around, the 40th day – I met my chosson to be and got engaged shortly thereafter!

We cannot understand the wondrous ways of Hashem, but we can see Him guiding us when we are worthy.

Tizku L’Mitzvos.

Keep on doing good…

This letter is sitting around for a few days, now I know why –
My friend whom I davened for throughout these four times and started another cycle when I got engaged – got engaged tonight!

Hashem listens to our prayers, and loves those who learn His Torah.

The donation I gave your organization, for parnassah, is already seeing results. A few days after your avreich started the study of a Mishnah a day on my behalf, I received a check from a client who owed me a sizeable amount of money. The following week I received several new work assignments. And just a few days ago, I learned that a recently completed project is doing very well financially. Many thanks to your organization for opening the Gates of Shomayim with your Torah study! Tizku l'mitzvos.

So many of us are looking for the answer to our shidduch challenges - how can every boy and girl be zoche to find their zivug hagun? Having a daughter who has been in shidduchim for more years than I care to think about, Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah's ad caught my eye; their "Better than a Segulah" campaign struck me as a different kind (albeit very appropriate) of hishtadlus.

At that point, my daughter was going out with a fine young man; the match certainly seemed like it had potential. I decided to sponsor forty days of Torah study as a zechus for her, in the hope that if this was her destined match, everything would go smoothly. Within two weeks of the limud, the shidduch went through, and my daughter at last became a kallah.

I want to thank Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah for bringing this opportunity my way. May the zechus of Torah continue to carry us through life's challenges.

Dear Binah,

For a long time I have been meaning to write and share my experience; last week's letter by a mother who sponsored learning through Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah as a zechus for her daughter's shidduch reminded me yet again to send this letter.

As I continued to daven (by now, for many years) to be zoche to my own ben Torah, it occurred to me that sponsoring forty days of learning as a zechus toward this end would be most appropriate. I figured I surely couldn't lose, as at the end of the day, one way or the other, I would come out having gained the zechus of Torah for myself.

B"H, within days of the completion of the forty days I did indeed meet my bashert. Feeling that Torah would be such a powerful zechus to carry me through the crucial days of my engagement and chasunah, I sponsored an additional eighty days, and, B"H, here I am, looking back at the seven years I spent in shidduchim from the vantage point of a year of marriage.

It would be easy to say, "B"H, everything worked out in the end." But truth be told, the years of pain and waiting cannot be so easily forgotten. For those who are still waiting, I am sharing my story in the hope that it will pass on some chizuk and ideas for further hishtadlus.

Dear Editor,

Much has been written on these pages about the "Shidduch Crisis" and the pain of the many single girls in our community who are still waiting, waiting, waiting. I do not need to read those letters, as I was there myself until a short while ago.

I know also that many have shared ideas about how to help alleviate the situation. Several times, I noticed an ad in your paper for the "Better than a Segulah" program, in which an organization called Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah will have a talmid chochom learn Mishnayos or Gemara as a zechus for somebody. I have to say that at a certain point I began to feel a little jaded about engaging in extra "practices" to help bring along my bashert. I sort of felt like I should just stick to my tefillos and Tehillim; what could be better than that?

But after thinking about it, I realized that this was a different kind of option because it was offering me an opportunity to gain some zechusim from limud HaTorah, and talmud Torah k'neged kulam. And since I was looking for my own ben Torah with whom to earn the zechus of Torah, this seemed particularly appropriate.

As this has been the forum for so much shared pain, I wanted to let others know that I did indeed sponsor forty days of learning and shortly after, I was redt to my chosson. May we continue to share besuros tovos!

Dear Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah,

This year, I entered Bonei Olam’s Chinese Auction and purchased a ticket to win the zechus of having your organization learn Mishnah as a zechus for myself or a loved one.

And I won! In need of parnassah at the time, I used part of the prize to “sponsor” learning as a zechus for hatzlachah in finding a job.

Interestingly, I won this prize together with a year’s membership at Curves, and it was while I was at Curves that I met the shadchan for a potential job. I went for an interview and amazingly, was offered the job on the very last day of the learning regimen.

How great is the merit of limud Torah!

L’kavod the Chashuva Organization Chevrah Lomdei Mishnah,

After using your wonderful service for the yahrtzeit of my father, z”l, I read about Better Than a Segulah on your website. This prompted me to join with a forty-day Mishnah cycle as a zechus for parnossah for my family. B’chasdei Hashem, within the forty days, I was offered a job, and my husband received some consulting work, with the potential of fulltime employment from the position. I decided to continue another forty-day cycle, of which we are now in the midst. We are grateful for the zechus of having the opportunity to participate in this esteemed organization. Aside from it being well run and professional, as is indicative from the website, having a talmid chochom learn on one's behalf is a tremendous zechus. Hatzlachah rabbah for continued success and thank you!
