Rabbi Sternbuch Extends 'Good Tidings' Pledge for Charity Donors
An opportunity for Jewish individuals to have their names added to the donor list of the 'Lekrate Kallah' fund, managed by 'Kupat Ha'ir', has been extended. This inclusion ensures they will be included in a decree for good fortune to be issued by Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu Sternbuch, a prominent rabbinic authority, between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The fund, which has raised over four million shekels to assist hundreds of impoverished brides and grooms, is now offering this extended opportunity.
Rabbi Sternbuch, despite his frailty, is reportedly issuing blessings and decrees that are quickly coming to fruition, with numerous stories of salvation emerging. He is leveraging his spiritual authority to encourage increased charity, emphasizing its importance for hastening the coming of the Messiah. The decree specifically promises "good tidings within six months" of a donation commitment.
This pledge is formalized in a document titled "Deed and Decree of Good Tidings," to be signed by Rabbi Sternbuch, Rabbi Yitzchak Hillel, and Rabbi Shimon Galai. The signatories will bless donors, stating that in return for supporting poor brides, they will merit to marry off their own children easily and without needing financial assistance. The document acknowledges the magnitude of the request but relies on divine benevolence.
Donors who join now will have their six-month period begin immediately, with the expectation of salvation arriving before the Purim holiday. The article urges potential donors not to miss this final opportunity to be included in the decree issued by these rabbinic leaders.
