Please, does anybody know Rebbes around New York Area to go for a tefila/brocha for sick people?
I’m not a rebbe, but I will be more than willing to give you a complete and sincere bracha.
The Wolf
Skulener Rebbe.
The Kever of the Chief Rabbi of NYC, which is located in Queens, around Cypress Hills I believe.
Here are a few:
Rachmestrivkah bp
Sekulen bp
Klausendberg bp
Rabbi Wolfson bp
Also you can post the name here and the good readers of YWN will definitely daven and say tehilim…
skver rebbe are you asking for a specific rebbe thats common with these things?
I guess I’m just not good enough. So much for “Lo T’hai birchas hedyot kallah b’ainecha…”

I wasn’t the one to ask, but wolf, if you’re willing to give, I’d be very happy to take a bracha from you.
Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!
I would never say no to a Bracha from Wolf.
Wolf, can I please have a bracha?
If any other posters want to give me a bracha I’ll take them as well.
As for the OP, Hashem should bless the sick people you are davening for with good health.
Sam2, OneOfMany, and kapusta – you should all be gebentched.
You can ask my grandmother for a bracha. She went through Auschwitz. The Satmar Rav zt”l said that any Holocaust survivor is a better source than he was!
Kapusta, OneToMany, Mod-42, Sam2,
May HKBH fulfill all of your wishes, dreams and desires for good.
The Wolf
Wolf, Please add me to your list. thanx!
Amen!
Go to any tzadik and especially to one who is a kohen.
That is a famous misquote from the Satmar Rav. What he said was go to any yid who went through the Holocaust and is still Shomer Torah Umitzvos. The specific line was any yid who rolls up his sleeve to put on tefillin and you see the numbers.
Although your grandmother probably does not wear tefillin, if she is a survivor and is a shomeres Torah Umitzvos, she would surely meet the Satmar Rav’s criterea.
midwesterner: My grandfather also went through the war, although he’s no longer alive now. He did go through Auschwitz, but it was towards the end of the war, and they were no longer tatooing the prisoners. But he did put on tefillin every day!In the camps, he was considered lucky, because he somehow got a heavy coat to keep him warm. Yet, when someone came to him and asked if he could trade something to my grandfather for his coat, he didn’t hesitate. He was offered food this man had somehow gotten and stashed away, cigarettes, and other items this man somehow had. But what did he want? The pair of tefillin the man had access to.
My grandfather was not one to give our major brachos. If we asked him for one, he would just say yisimcha (or yisimech for his granddaughters). Before the Yomim Noraim, he would just tell us, “Hashem should give you a good year, with health and happiness, and whatever is right for you!” But I know that his words went straight up to Hashem!
