seeking their 讝讬讜讜讙
In one of their promotions, they start Davening on 讻"讜 住讬讜谉
the Yahrzeit 讬讜谞转谉 讘谉 注讜讝讬讗诇 and continue to do so for forty
days at his 拽讘专 in 注诪讜拽讛.
LET IT BE KNOWN:
a) There is not a single Mokor (诪拽讜专 – source) anywhere that confirms the Yahrzeit of 讬讜谞转谉 讘谉 注讜讝讬讗诇 is on 讻״讜 住讬讜谉.
b) The Steipler 讝爪״诇 and many others weren’t convinced that the burial place of 讬讜谞转谉 讘谉 注讜讝讬讗诇 is known*.
c) The Steipler 讝爪״诇 and many others were unaware of any 砖讬讚讜讱 住讙讜诇讛 connected to 讬讜谞转谉 讘谉 注讜讝讬讗诇**.
* The Kever assumed today as the Kever of 讬讜谞转谉 讘谉 注讜讝讬讗诇 was marked only 90 years ago as the tomb of two Sheikhs:
- Sheikh Mohammed al-Ajabi
- Sheikh Charab
** The Amukah Segulah is a very recent invention (60–70 years). There is no source in any 住驻专 or any 诪住讜专讛 from any reliable source.
This segulah was reportedly popularized by a Frum tour guide as a joke. He also jokingly claimed there are two 拽讘专讬诐 for 砖诪讜讗诇 讛谞讘讬讗: one for “砖诪讜讗诇 讗׳” and the other for “砖诪讜讗诇 讘׳”.
The “Amukah” story spread quickly due to desperation; people will cling to anything that sounds promising.
The 讙诪专讗 (Yevamos 17a) says: why is it (a certain hill) called 讛专驻谞讬讗? Because all the 驻住讜诇讬谉 (Mamzerim etc.) turn toward (go to) this hill, 讛专 驻谞讬讗, to find a spouse.
Rava said: “This hill is not a hill but a pit deeper (注诪讜拽讛) than 砖讗讜诇 (Gehinnom). From Gehinnom one can be redeemed, whereas a Mamzer remains that way forever.”
