- Rabbi Shlomo Lipschitz is seeking funds for the wedding of a girl he raised for 12 years.
- The girl was taken in at age 6 due to a difficult family situation.
- After 12 years of care, a suitable match has been found for the young woman.
- The rabbi cannot afford the wedding expenses and is appealing for help.
- The bride-to-be has asked to have a "normal" wedding like any other bride.
A rabbi, Shlomo Lipschitz, took in a 6-year-old relative late one night 12 years ago due to a difficult family situation, initially planning for only a few nights. The child remained with Rabbi Lipschitz and his family, who raised her with great devotion, providing extensive care and treatment. She has now reached marriageable age, and a suitable match has been found.
However, as the wedding approaches, the family faces financial hardship. Rabbi Lipschitz, who has supported her throughout her childhood without seeking assistance, is now unable to fund the wedding himself. He is appealing for urgent help to marry her with the same honor as his own children.
The bride-to-be, who experienced a challenging childhood, has tearfully pleaded for support to have a wedding like any other bride. She expressed a desire to build a stable home in Israel and not feel different on her special day. The article emphasizes mutual responsibility and the need to help the couple marry with dignity, providing the bride with the wedding she dreams of.
