Jews have always cherished the belongings of tzaddikim - and valued them for the blessing they bring. They especially cherished matbeyos – coins from tzaddikim, which were often pressed into the hands of Jews seeking salvation. Such coins were handed down from generation to generation, and used as a talisman for success.

Today the tradition continues, as families carefully guard heirloom inheritances from tzaddikim, and take them out whenever blessing is sought.

There are not many physical mementos of the holy Rebbe R’ Elimelech in existence. Most people cannot hope to touch or even see something he used or handled. Still, every Jew can enjoy the blessing of an object that evokes the tzaddik’s memory, and brings blessings to those who use it – the Lizhensk coin.

The source of the blessing?

The charity behind the coin. The sale of the coin supports poor descendents of the Rebbe R’ Elimelech – and brings its bearers the blessing of their holy ancestor.

 In the years since it was first minted, bearers of the coin have used it whenever they sought a blessing.
They placed it in hospital rooms.
Under the pillows of laboring women.
And in the pockets of businessmen.

And they have reaped the tzaddik’s blessing, again and again

Bring the tzaddik’s blessing to your home. Purchase the coin that demonstrates your ahavas Yisroel and emunas chachamim.

Blessed by Tzaddikim in our Times

When Torah leaders in our time saw the Lizhensk coins, their reaction was remarkable. Almost all purchased coins for themselves – and expressed their joy at fulfilling the Rebbe R’ Elimelech’s request, in such a beautiful, honorable way. They also bestowed their blessings upon the project, and upon the coins, themselves.

 When you purchase a Lizhensk coin, you merit the additional blessing of tzaddikim in our times – including many who are descended from the Rebbe R’ Elimelech!
