Five years ago, R’ Yaakov Chaim Miller escorted a childless couple to a primitive village in the Zhytomir region of Ukraine. There, among the frozen expanses of a Jewish graveyard, the couple’s dearest wish was granted.

A child.

The long-forgotten kever of R’ Moshe of Ludmir ztz”l, son of HaRav HaKadosh Shlomo of Karlin zy”a, was discovered. During his lifetime he was known for his brachos and the yeshuos that he affected, especially in the area of zera shel kayama. Even after his death those who come to pray at his kever in Ukraine attest that their tefillos are accepted there.

R’ Miller took it upon himself to publicize the yeshuos that childless couples can experience when they make the trek to Olevsk, Ukraine to pray at the holy kever. Each year he organizes 3 trips to the kever of R’ Moshe of Ludmir: On Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan, Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul, and on the yarzheit, 18 Shevat.

Tens of barren couples, who have been yearning for children, have had their prayers answered after davening at the holy kever of R’ Moshe of Ludmir.

Olevsk, a primitive town of 10,000 people, does not have proper hospitality facilities for the many couples coming to pray. Yaakov Chaim Miller has founded a massive hachnosas orchim center at the kever, “Hachnosas Orchim – Olevsk.” The center supplies all the supplicants with warm kosher meals, accommodations and a fully-functional shul. Plans to expand the center include building a mikvah and expanded outreach facilities for the indigent Jews of Olevsk.

Tomorrow, 18 Shevat, is the yarzheit of Rav Moshe of Ludmir. The powerful tefillos tearfully recited at this holy kever will surely reach the heavens. Now is your chance to add your name for a yeshuah, and especially for zera shel kayama. For a donation of at least $36 your name will be prayed for at the kever. Add the names for prayer and a request in the comments of the donation. 

Be a part of the yeshuos experienced this year at the kever of HaRav Moshe of Ludmir zy”a and help continue to bring hope to barren couples around the world. Hachnosas Orchim – Olevsk warms their hearts and feeds, not only their bodies, their souls.
