  • The Rabbi is seeking donations to fund weddings for 82 orphaned couples.
  • The couples face severe financial hardship and cannot afford to marry.
  • Donors are asked to contribute ten shekels per orphan through Vaad Harabanim.

Eighty-two orphaned Jewish couples are on the verge of marriage but face severe financial distress, unable to afford wedding expenses or establish a new home. These orphans, who have lost their parents, are appealing for assistance to avoid starting their married lives in poverty and loneliness. The Rabbi has issued a rare public appeal across Israel, urging citizens to help these destitute orphans through the organization 'Vaad Harabanim' (The Rabbis' Council). He requests a donation of ten shekels per orphan, framing this contribution as a life-saving act that builds faithful homes in Israel. To incentivize donations, the Rabbi has attached a profound promise: those who contribute will receive blessings for salvation beyond the natural order, including peace with descendants, abundant livelihood, complete healing, a timely marriage, and protection from all harm and illness. Additionally, donors will receive a "Supernatural Salvation Voucher" signed by the Rabbi. The appeal emphasizes the urgency of helping these orphans marry with joy, free from financial burdens, and offers the chance to receive supernatural salvation through this mitzvah.
