Testimonials

Thank you for the yeshuos

"We want to thank Hashem and His faithful messengers for the wonderful yeshuos we have seen in recent months, since we began to receive early Shabbos with the encouragement of the wonderful organization ‘Smeichim L'Shomro’."

Thank you for your support

"Thank you so much for your support of the erev Shabbos program for avreichim in Israel. Every friday, 50 minutes before sunset, my wife lights candles and immediately the family gets together at the table to learn hilchos Shabbos. This has been a great experience."

"Our family had the zchus to join this special project. At first, we were a little worried that it might be difficult for us, but still we decided to try and see if it’s ‘matim’ for us, and Baruch Hashem from the first Shabbos, the whole family enjoyed the special atmosphere of Tosefes Shabbos – we welcomed Shabbos peacefully, calmly and with a wonderful feeling. And from then on, every week we wait to receive Shabbos and add from secular to the kodesh and feel the joy and special feeling that cannot be described in words."

I would like to share with you the spiritual uplifting that I and my family had last Shabbos, when I was privileged to be one of "those who welcome Shabbos in Tiberias” [early]. Even if at first there were concerns that it would be difficult and stressful, when preparing for it ahead, everything fell into place nicely and we were privileged to accept Shabbos early and peacefully, and of course after lighting candles we had a special early "avos ubanim" learning session while we were all dressed in Shabbos clothes and happy with the special taste of early Shabbos.
