Missed Giving Before Shavuos? There's Still Time to Make It Count

​Shavuos has passed… but some opportunities don’t expire right away.

First, thank you to those who already gave.Your generosity helped bring the spirit of Shavuos into real action — supporting Torah and helping someone in need. May Hashem bless you with all the brachos promised by our sages.

If you didn’t yet have a chance to give, you still can…

As Rabbi Biderman recently shared, the Pele Yoetz writes that we’re obligated to bring joy to the poor on Yom Tov — and that this should be done before the holiday. The Zohar teaches that Hashem visits the homes of the poor on Yom Tov… and if they lack food, He cries for them. Those who fail to give when they’re able, says the Zohar, miss out — and those who do give, open the gates to blessing and peace in their homes.

So yes — the Yom Tov has passed.

But maybe, like many people, you meant to give but didn’t. Or you didn’t realize how important this was — especially for Shavuos, about which Rabbeinu Bechaye writes that we must not be lenient, even though it’s only one day.

And then there’s the incredible segulah from Rav Chaim Palagi zt”l (Mo’ed L’Kol Chai, Siman 8):Giving 104 coins to a poor person involved in Torah before Shavuos brings merit for:

• Children (Zera shel Kayama)

• Yeshuos (salvations)

• Brachah and Divine kindness

This is your chance to still be counted in this zechus. Even after the fact, Hashem knows your heart — and retroactively, this can still be a merit for you and your family.

I’ll be accepting donations connected to this only until Motzaei Shabbat (this coming Saturday night). After that, I’ll be closing this special request.

You can give now here:https://www.paypal.me/TorahLecturesInc

As someone who has been sharing Torah for years through TorahLectures.org, often at personal cost, and who is currently in need of support, your help will bring blessing both to me and to you.

Don’t miss the blessing entirely. You can still be part of it.

With appreciation and brachah,
