Story[edit]

Founded in the city of Polungian, Lithuania. During the evening of the festival of Shavuos, in the synagogue, the shammash (caretaker) was decorating the synagogue with greenery and branches in honor of the festival. To those who asked about this custom, he enjoyed telling them that the festival of Shavous falls each year precisely three months after the seventh of Adar, the birthday of Moshe Rabbeinu. It was on this day of the month, three months earlier in the year, that Moshe Rabbeinu’s mother hid him in the midst of the needs in the Nile river. And so the shammash would decorate the synagogue with branches and greenery. That day the door of the synagogue burst open. In came a small ten year old child, fleeing from a group of children who were chasing him. The shammash watched, aghast, as the child tripped over one of his careful arrangements. The sound of a slap echoed through the synagogue as the shammash hit the youngster with all his force. Rabbi Shlomo Itzik, the Rabbi of Polungian, happened to pass by the synagogue on his way to the mikvah. He noticed a child sitting and crying in front of the building. He asked with concern, the Rabbi asked the boy to gather all his friends to gather together all the children of the town. When all the children had arrived, the Rabbi led them in the synagogue, where the shammash was still hard at work, fixing up the display of greenery.

“We will no longer decorate the synagogue with greenery on the ever of Shavous,” the Rabbi announced. “Instead you.” He turned to the children, “will be responsible for fixing up all the torn seforim [books] in the synagogue. Together with the shammash you will fix all the torn sefarim [books] with paper and tape, so everyone will be able to use these holy books. Now go take the greenery out of the synagogue!” From that day on, it was no longer customary to adorn the synagogue in Polungian with greenery in honor of the holiday of Shavuos. Instead, a group of children, aged 5-13, would gather in the synagogue, to repair the ripped and torn sefarim so everyone would be able to see them. The name of this group became Pirchei Shoshanim in 1750.
