Rabbi Edelstein to Hold Special Blessing Ceremony for Singles

During the Sukkot holiday, Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Edelstein will conduct a unique blessing ceremony aimed at helping singles find their match by Hanukkah 2027. The event is scheduled for Thursday, the 20th of Tishrei, coinciding with the "Ushpizin" (holy guests) of Aaron the High Priest. This specific day was chosen because Aaron the High Priest was known for his love of peace and dedication to fostering harmony between people and within families, which is believed to make this day auspicious for matchmaking.

The ceremony, organized by the "Kupat Ha'ir" charity, will involve Rabbi Edelstein mentioning the names of donors and their family members who are seeking a spouse. Participants can join this special blessing by donating 740 shekels, a sum numerically equivalent to "Ushpizin Aaron the High Priest," and submitting the names of those needing a match. An additional option allows for participation by donating 100 shekels per month for 36 months, which includes receiving a "matchmaking document" signed by Rabbi Edelstein after Sukkot.

Those wishing to include a son, daughter, or relative in the blessing are urged to submit their names promptly, as the event is approaching. The charity emphasizes this as a rare opportunity to be included in a blessing by a prominent rabbinic figure during a spiritually significant time, with the hope of establishing a "faithful home in Israel" within the specified timeframe.
