From the Google group of Avraham Aumann (Google translate from Hebrew with corrections):

“I received the following story from a friend of Ben Ashkenaz,

Maybe it can strengthen us in the beautiful custom of blessing the children.”

My father, Shlit” a, taught for many years in Neve Yerushalayim in the Har Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem.

English-speaking girls who knew nothing about their Jewish heritage received lessons in Judaism, faith, and knowledge of the mitzvot at “Neveh.”

But much more important than the lessons they received were the life lessons learned when they saw the conduct of Torah and mitzvot observant homes.

My parents would invite girls to almost every Shabbat meal to taste the taste of Shabbat.

The special Siyata Dashmia that accompanies those engaged in repentance is very miraculous.

The Almighty brings them success in various forms they have not even dreamed of.

One day, one of the women – a Baalas Teshuvah, told my mother (HKM) that at the very beginning of the road, when there were still many debates about whether to take this bold step,

she was invited to a Shabbat meal with a few other friends.

Of course, everything was so new and intriguing that they followed everything closely and with pleasure, even to things we don’t usually notice.

“When I saw all the children approach in order, first to the father and then to the mother, and bow their heads to receive the blessing of the sons, I was moved.

The scene really touched my heart, and I decided that I wanted such a family!

This was my main drive to repent and build a Torah house.”
