Eighty-two orphaned brides and grooms are on the verge of marriage but face severe financial hardship, unable to afford wedding expenses or establish a new home. These orphans, who have lost their parents, are appealing for help to celebrate their weddings without the burden of poverty and loneliness. In response to their plight, Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Shachter, referred to as the "glory of the generation," has issued a rare call to the public. He is urging individuals to contribute ten shekels per orphan through the Rabbis' Committee to assist these destitute individuals in building their homes in Israel. Rabbi Shachter has attached a heartfelt promise to this mitzvah: those who donate will be blessed with salvation beyond natural means, including peace with descendants, abundant livelihood, complete healing, a suitable spouse soon, and protection from all harm and illness. Furthermore, donors will receive a personal prayer from Rabbi Shachter at the holy site of the "Or HaChaim" tomb, a place known for aiding barrenness and great salvation. Each donor will also receive a "Supernatural Salvation Certificate" signed by Rabbi Shachter. The appeal emphasizes the importance of enabling these orphans to marry joyfully, free from financial worries and debt, and encourages immediate donations to help marry the 82 couples and receive supernatural salvation in return.
