for recitation on erev Chodesh Sivan, this Thursday June 2nd.

    All parents want the best for their children — that they should be good and upright, that they have everything they need for a fruitful, joyous life.

    The classic work, Shelah HaKadosh, contains a prayer that parents should recite for their children at any time of the year — but especially before Rosh Chodesh Sivan, (which is Friday, May 14th) for that is the month when G-d gave us the Torah, and when the Jewish people began to be called His Children. This year it is preferable to recite it on Thursday, May 13th.
