26 of sivan is the yurtziet of the tanna yonison Ben uziel.
His buriel place is in amuka close to ztafas in northern isreal.
People say he was such a masimid that he never married and regretted it latter in life.as a tikun for this before he passed away he promised any umarried person who visits his kaver will find there shidduch within a year.
Perhaps this then is the solution to todays shidduch crises.haha was deciding if i was gonna visit recentley. imhy il try to make it now thanks

Brilliant! Why hasn’t anyone thought of that?
Should be a lesson for those silly enough to push off marriage.
Once upon a time Amuka was an inaccessible valley. Someone needed a lot of mesirus nefesh to visit the kever, hence the segula. Nowadays, tour buses drive up easily on a paved (ok still windy) road to a fully accessible tziyun. Doesn’t every seminary take their girls there at the end of the year? While nothing wrong with davening at kevarim of tzaddikim, I think the mesirus nefesh factor is no longer a part of it, which is why that this has not solved the shidduch cirsis.
Winnie, let’s make it a bit more inaccessible and difficult to reach, eh? 🤔
Joseph, only for those looking for instant segulos/yeshuos.
The major issue with Amuka will not solve the Shidduch crisis. There is a MECHITZA running down the middle of the path to the kever and around the Kever.
How are you supposed to find your bashert at Amuka, IF YOU CAN’T SEE THEM??You leave your siddur behind with your name, number, and picture- it helps if you can somehow get it to the other side of the mechitza.
(how do I insert one of those smiley faces?)
Actually, R’ Yonasan ben Uziel never promised that one would find his zivug at the kever itself.I heard a great story of a girl who went to Amuka with a group of friends and they took pictures of the group/individuals while they were there. Later, after she got married, she was looking back at old pictures and came across her pictures of that day and what did they see in the background? Her husband was there the same day as they were!!!!!
I did go to Amuka once and I did in fact meet my husband and get married within the year.
WTP – I think the mesirus nefesh factor is no longer a part of it, which is why that this has not solved the shidduch cirsis.
I heard this beferush from Rav Meir Brenner. He said when he was young it was next to impossible to find the tziun – it was in the middle of the forest with no path and just an arrow carved into a tree or a rock every now and then. He said a person could maybe spend a couple of days in the area looking for it and still not find it. Because it was such a challenge, for the people who were zoche to find it they saw many more miracles whereas nowadays you don’t see every a miracle story for everyone who goes because it’s so much more accessible.
Kitov- Because the promise that R’ Yonasan ben Uziel made that he would intervene and help people get married as a tikun was specifically attached to the person coming to visit his kever. So the quality of that action counts. As opposed to other instances of davening, when it is the davening that counts, not how you got there. Although, lfum tzara agra always applies.
Nechama- I heard that story too, although I don’t think I ever heard who it was about. Real or urban legend?So what you’re all saying is that shlissel challa was only a segulah for parnassa before the invention of the KitchenAid?
