The Shelah Prayer: Why specifically on the eve of Rosh Chodesh Sivan?
Question
They send around the Shelah prayer [along with requests for donations…].
Why specifically on the eve of Rosh Chodesh Sivan?
What is there specifically about this date, specifically for this prayer?
Answer
Is this trolling? There is nothing special about this date, and there is no reason to say specifically this prayer, and specifically on Rosh Chodesh Sivan.
By the way, the author is the author of the book Hemdat Yamim, so there are plenty of excuses for why to say it.
