To whom it may concern:
I would like to know what the procedure is for someone to daven for me in regarding to finding a spouse and having healthy and happy children.

Dear Alan,
Your question is an excellent one. If you are asking one to daven (pray) on your behalf, it would be advisable that the person prays at holy sites such as the Kotel HaMa'aravi (Western Wall), Ma'arat HaMachpelah (Tomb of the Patriarchs) in Hevron, Kever Rachel in Beit Lechem (Rachel's Tomb - pictured above), Kever Rashbi (Grave of Rebbe Shimon bar Yochai) in Meiron, as well as other graves of Tzadikim. Included in this list should be the Ohel in Queens, NY (resting place of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and the previous Rebbe). In addition to prayer, you should make the utmost effort to contact a shadchan (matchmaker) who is accustomed to helping people of a similar age group and range of background as yourself. As well, continue to reach out to friends and loved ones for assistance in recommending a potential idea for a match. May G-d bless for everything to occur in the right time.

I might have a similar question to Alan. Is there a chabad near kever Rochel? Could we give Tzeddukah and submit names for tefilla at the kever? How do we do that?
