כ"ו סיון

Certain organizations offer to Daven for those 
seeking their זיווג

In one of their promotions, they start Davening on כ"ו סיון
the Yahrzeit יונתן בן עוזיאל and continue to do so for forty
days at his קבר in עמוקה.

LET IT BE KNOWN: 

a) There is not a single Mokor (מקור – source) anywhere that confirms the Yahrzeit of יונתן בן עוזיאל is on כ״ו סיון.

b) The Steipler זצ״ל and many others weren’t convinced that the burial place of יונתן בן עוזיאל is known*.

c) The Steipler זצ״ל and many others were unaware of any שידוך סגולה connected to יונתן בן עוזיאל**.

* The Kever assumed today as the Kever of יונתן בן עוזיאל was marked only 90 years ago as the tomb of two Sheikhs:

1. Sheikh Mohammed al-Ajabi
2. Sheikh Charab

** The Amukah Segulah is a very recent invention (60–70 years). There is no source in any ספר or any מסורה from any reliable source.

This segulah was reportedly popularized by a Frum tour guide  as a joke. He also jokingly claimed there are two קברים for שמואל הנביא: one for “שמואל א׳” and the other for “שמואל ב׳”.

The “Amukah” story spread quickly due to desperation; people will cling to anything that sounds promising.

The prankster combined two unrelated Rashis placed next to each other as if they formed a single statement:

“כל הפסולין שאינם מוצאים אשה – פונים והולכים לשם.”

(Where?) That is Amukah (עמוקה).

The גמרא (Yevamos 17a) says: why is it (a certain hill) called הרפניא? Because all the פסולין (Mamzerim etc.) turn toward (go to) this hill, הר פניא, to find a spouse.

Rava said: “This hill is not a hill but a pit deeper (עמוקה) than שאול (Gehinnom). From Gehinnom one can be redeemed, whereas a Mamzer remains that way forever.”
