There’s a remarkable new initiative making waves across the Jewish world.
The Power of a Million is an unprecedented initiative launched by Keren Tosafos Yom Tov to strengthen Kedushas HaTefillah throughout Klal Yisroel.
The goal is to inspire one million kabbalos, creating one million more focused, heartfelt tefillos. Yidden are committing not to speak during davening and taking on additional kabbalos that bring greater focus, respect, and meaning to every tefillah.
Every participant who accepts a kabbalah is also eligible for the largest prize ever offered in a campaign—a historic $1,000,000 prize toward their shul. The prize can be used for renovations, a new Sefer Torah, a mikvah, or other projects that enhance the beauty and kavod of the Makom HaTefillah.
Thousands of Yidden from every background and community have already joined this powerful movement and taken on Kabbalos to strengthen their tefillah.
Inspired by the powerful Mi Shebeirach of the Tosafos Yom Tov, which describes the extraordinary brachos promised to those who are careful not to speak during davening, this global initiative is bringing renewed respect to our batei medrash and elevating the power of tefillah throughout Klal Yisroel.
There is extraordinary power when Yidden unite in tefillah. Every individual kabbalah becomes part of something far greater, bringing together communities, shuls, and Yidden across the world through one shared commitment.
One million kabbalos means one million opportunities to strengthen our connection to Hashem and create an unprecedented collective zechus for all of Klal Yisroel.
A noted philanthropist funded the historic prize with one goal in mind: to help Yidden strengthen their tefillah and deepen their respect for the shul. At a time when so many are searching for zechusim and brachos, there is perhaps no greater zechus than honoring the Makom HaTefillah and protecting the sanctity of davening.

not sure where he davens but bh where i daven there is absolutely no issue with talking during davening
Exactly how is this actually going to work? Goals are stated but the process isn’t.
Just another classic bait and switch fraud.
A Baal Tzedeka put up $1,000,000 reward to help people talk less during davening and this is what you have to say?
No words.
I would also like to suggest a campaign against learning during chazaras Hashatz !!
maybe they should give out papers in the schools, like another adaraba paper
Beautiful initiative!
Just wondering about the wording on the site as it’s unclear.
In the first paragraph it states “be entered to win a $1,000,000 to benefit their shul”.
Then it states in another paragraph “Every participant is entered to win up to $1,000,000”.
Which is it, a million dollars or “up to” a million dollars?
I had not seen talking during davening or krias hatorah today. When I was growing up during the 1960’s & 1970’s the yeshivah’s or shuls where real talmudai chachumim davened didn’t talk a word during davening; but the heimische shul’s and shteiblach were packed with holocaust survivors and their kids used to answer them for a second but the parents did most of the talking thus mainly describing their experiences in the concentration camps during the holocaust of which the talking used to get so loud that the raging ruv or rebbe or gabbain used to start banging and screaming “ Shah Nu Shah” quite often.
Today most shuls were established and built by residents of new neighborhoods with their hard earned money and hard work of which they have great respect for their shul’s; and talking in shul’s is also no longer in style; however a big problem today which I don’t like is that some people don’t just bring a siddur and shul chumash to their spot, but bring a gemara and other seforim and open them during davening and krias hatorah. Shul’s daven quick enough that I find it difficult to pronounce every word in davening clearly during the time given, how can they read other stuff during davening; if a choir is singing praise to a king of which a few singers fake it thus read a book or novel during the service how would the king like that.
