SMT = Shabbos Mevorchim Tehillim

The Rebbe's campaign. Your minyan.

The Frierdiker Rebbe launched Shabbos Mevorchim Tehillim in 5695: the whole Tehillim, with a minyan, in every shul. The Rebbe made it his campaign and said Moshiach will ask how many Jews we brought to it. SMT.life exists for one reason: to bring the Rebbe's campaign everywhere. Every Anash minyan first. Then every shliach and every Chabad House. Then every shul in the world, because the Frierdiker Rebbe asked for every shul, not only ours. Find yours, sign up, claim it, or start one.

Children. Health. Parnassa. All in abundance. For you, your children, your grandchildren, and all of Israel.

What the Rebbe asked

Five sources. Read them once, then go find ten people.

The Rebbe

1. The takanah

In 5695 (1935) the Frierdiker Rebbe established that on Shabbos Mevorchim the entire Tehillim be said with a minyan before davening, followed by a maamar everyone can understand, and that the day be a day of farbrengen. He asked that it be established in every shul.

2. The brocha

The Frierdiker Rebbe wrote that there are no words for the merit of those who take part in Tehillim said with a congregation, nor for the nachas ruach it causes Above, and blessed them, their wives, sons and daughters, with good health and abundant parnassa, and through them their whole community and all of Israel.

עבודה הקדושה באמירת תהלים בצבור, אין די באר גודל הזכות של המשתתפים בזה, וגודל הנחת רוח של מעלה... ובגלל זאת תתברכו אתם נשיכם בניכם ובנותיכם, ה' עליהם יחיו, בבריאות נכונה ובפרנסה בהרחבה גדולה

3. For your children and grandchildren

Chumash with Rashi every day, Tehillim every day, and the whole Tehillim on Shabbos Mevorchim. Be scrupulous about these three. It is crucial for you, your children, and your grandchildren.

4. Moshiach will not accept excuses

The Rebbe said that when Moshiach comes he will not accept excuses. He will ask: how many Jews did you bring to the Tehillim of Shabbos Mevorchim? The Frierdiker Rebbe worked to bring every community, not only Chabad, to this custom.

5. In every shul

Ahavas Yisroel obligates us to seek the true good of every Jew. Tehillim said together affects the whole people materially, in children, health and livelihood, and spiritually, in light, blessing and redemption. Therefore it belongs in every shul.

Minyanim around the world

How the rating works

One number, 1 to 10, so you know what you're walking into. It comes from the person who claimed the minyan, who checks in once a month with two answers: how many came, and did it start on time.

5points for people. Ten or more gets all five. Fewer gets less.
5points for starting on time. Within 10 minutes: 5. Within 30: 3. Later: 0.
3months averaged. A minyan can climb, and a minyan can slip.

A minyan nobody has claimed shows no rating. Claim it, take responsibility for it, and it gets one.
