הגר"י קולדצקי: "הקדוש ברוך הוא ישלם לו בכפל כפליים"

Rabbi Yitzchak Koldetzky, son-in-law of the late Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, has appealed to the public for assistance for an orphaned groom who is about to be married. While some aid has been raised through "Kupat Ha'ir," Rabbi Koldetzky stated that the funds are insufficient and the groom's situation is causing him distress. He described the groom as an orphan who has recently become engaged and is facing significant financial challenges, emphasizing that "the poor have nothing." Rabbi Koldetzky explained that God is the father of orphans and that the community must step in to cover the expenses. He highlighted the religious importance of supporting orphans and the poor, particularly in helping them marry and establish families. He promised that anyone who contributes generously to the groom's wedding expenses will be repaid manifold by God, who is the father of orphans, stating, "He will pay him back double, a good measure, multiplied five hundred times."

Rabbi Koldetzky is awaiting news that the groom's financial needs have been met before his wedding. Contributions can be made to "Kupat Ha'ir," fund number 5796, with a suggested donation of 420 shekels to participate in the orphan groom's joy.
