Rabbi Yitzchak Koldetzky, son-in-law of the late Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, is urgently appealing for financial assistance for an orphaned groom set to be married. Despite a significant sum already raised through the "Kupat Ha'ir" charity, Rabbi Koldetzky states the funds are insufficient to cover the groom's wedding expenses, causing him considerable distress. He is making a renewed plea to the public for help, emphasizing the groom's status as an orphan who has recently become engaged.
He stressed the religious importance of supporting the marriage of orphans and the poor, calling it a "great mitzvah to build a home in Israel." Rabbi Koldetzky promised a divine reward for those who contribute, saying, "Whoever helps to marry off this groom with a generous donation, then the Father, the Holy One, Blessed is He, who is the Father of orphans, will repay him double and more, a measure of good measure, five hundred times over."
With the wedding imminent, Rabbi Koldetzky awaits news that the groom's financial needs have been met. Contributions can be made to "Kupat Ha'ir" fund number 5796, with a suggested donation of 420 shekels to participate in the orphaned groom's joy.
