"Hilchos Kvittel" .....

 

A "kvittel" is a note that one hands to a Chassidishe Rebbe. 

In that kvittel, one writes his name and the names of his family and his basic request from the rebbe, usually it could be for his health, parnassah or a shidduch for his children. The rebbe in turn will pray to Hashem for that chasid....

Nowadays there is a custom that Jews and even non Jews put a kvittel into the Kotel's crevices.

The hard core litvaks would  laugh and mock at this practice but now even in the litvishe circles.. the "kvittel business" has made inroads .... it all started with the Steipler the father of R' Chaim Kanievski, who was hard of hearing so people would write down a message on a note and he would read it and answer the questionnaire. 

Now even those litvishe Roshei Yeshiva who hear better than you and me get kvittlich ...

Recently a wise guy came up with a sefer on the "halachos kvittlich" 

Good for him at least he is working to make a living!
