Stories of Deliverance
The Bat Ayin
From a talk by Rabbi Elimelech Biderman
Read the teachingMany stories tell of deliverance in the merit of this tzaddik: suitable marriages, children and the joy of seeing one's descendants grow in holiness.
Stories of Deliverance and a Connection to the Bat Ayin's Torah
The holy Bat Ayin, Rabbi Avraham Dov of Avritch, left his book Bat Ayin and a legacy of Torah, humility and divine service. His name is spoken by those who seek to know his teachings, learn from his example and gather in his honor on the day of his hillula.
Rabbi Elimelech Biderman's words presented here express the encouragement people find in stories of deliverance in the tzaddik's merit: marriage, children and joy from one's family. Alongside these teachings, this site collects accounts of prayer, positive commitments, studying Bat Ayin and participating in the hillula meal.
The Bat Ayin Segulah and Hillula Meal
The Bat Ayin's hillula falls on 12 Kislev. Around this day, people gather for study, prayer and a meal in his honor. You can hold a meal at home with family and friends, share an uplifting story and study his teachings together.
To get started, the Bat Ayin hillula and commemorative meal page provides gathering details and ways to support it. The Hosting a Hillula page offers downloadable resources, while the The Book Bat Ayin introduces the book and the themes of its teachings.
