Pidyon Nefesh

In addition to the merit a person receives for giving tzedakah and learning Torah, which are very great, the Pidyon Nefesh is the best known segulah to remove judgments from a person. This segulah protects you and your family and brings down blessing from Hashem.

Rabbi Shepherd will be making Pidyon Nefesh according to the custom of the Arizal, on behalf of all those who wish to participate. The tikun will be made twice, on Erev Rosh Hashanah (Sunday, September the 25th) and Erev Yom Kippur (Tuesday, October the 4th).
