In light of the alarming situation here in Eretz Yisrael, Rabbeinu, shlita, spoke this past Shabbos during Seudah Shelishis about the need to strengthen tefillah betzibur, as this is a great segulah to subdue anger and wrath when the middas hadin is stretched over us. After Shabbos, Rabbeinu also requested that this segulah be publicized in his name.
Therefore, to fulfill his wish, we are transcribing here a citation that Rabbeinu, shlita, mentioned from the sefer Berach Moshe, where this segulah is thoroughly explained. It says as follows:
“The passuk says (Bamidbar 33:25), הָדָרֲחֵמ וּעְס יַו – They journeyed from Charadah. [The word charadah means fear and dread. This teaches us] that if Yisrael seeks to be saved from fear and dread – from all kinds of harsh and evil decrees, then [we must follow the advice of the forthcoming words]: וַיַחֲנוּ בְמַקְהֵלֹת – They camped in Makheilos. [The word makheilos means to gather and assemble], which means that we must gather and assemble together and daven with the tzibur. This is what the passuk (Tehillim 68:27), בְמַקְהֵלוֹת בָרְ כוּ אֱלֹקִּים – Bless Hashem in kehillos is hinting at: tefillah betzibur in kehillos with large crowds. This is a lofty segulah to annul all kinds of fear and dread from upon Bnei Yisrael, and through its power, they can be saved from all trouble and distress and every plague and illness, and only good and kindness will be bestowed upon them all the days.”
Our hope is that Hashem Yisbarach will hear our tefillos and, from Heaven awaken great mercy upon us and favor us with all the yeshu’os and with our complete geulah, speedily in our days, amen.
