TEFILLAS GESHEM OF THE TZADDIK
Our story took place two hundred years ago in the city of Teveria in northern Eretz Yisrael. In those days, the Jewish settlement there began to flourish.

THE HANDWRITTEN TEHILLIM
It was a difficult time for the Jewish people. The secret police in communist Russia made every effort to wipe out Judaism. Many Jews did not withstand the test and joined the communists in order to save themselves. During this time, it was the Rebbe Rayatz and his Chassidim who, with mesirus nefesh, preserved Torah and mitzvos and even influenced others. They taught Torah secretly and helped with everything having to do with mitzva observance.
