Rosh Chodesh Tevet 5779-Festival of the Daughters Tehillim Campaign

In North African countries, the seventh night of Chanukah (1st of Tevet) was set aside as Chag haBanot, the Festival of the Daughters, when mothers would give their daughters gifts.  Some say it was a celebration of Chana and/or of Judith that brought new light into their world with their courage and steadfast faith.

This Rosh Chodesh let us bless our daughters, sisters, mothers and our unborn girls with the strength to demand halachic prenups before marriage and halachic solutions to get refusal upon divorce.

The following twenty women are still in need of a get, and have asked for your prayers.

Sara bat Shoshanah Rosa	Esther Rochel bat Sofia Marguiles
Esther bat Ruchama Leah	Anat Bat Chedva
Elana Chayah bat Edna/Moones	Shoshana bat Mahnad
Ifat bat Esther	Shari Ahava bat Yocheved Miriam
Devorah bat Doris	Leah Tzipora bat Sarah
Metuka Nechama bat Sarah	Sara bat Susan
Sarah bat Pari	Gila Rina Chedva bat Malka Achtar
Miriam Elisheva bat Flora Sarah	Shira bat Aghdas Chaya
Mazal Tov Hadassah bat Sultana	Lily bat Dorty
Sharona bat Nai'ma	Margalit bat Leah

With joy and gladness, we celebrate with Yonat Rachel bat Nesher Sarah who got her get this past month.

By reciting the names of those who have still to receive their get, we break the silence of suffering in our community. May our prayers be heard.
