BAYIT CHADASH - A NEW HOME!גבאי צדקה שיש בידם מעות צדקה, ישיאו בהם בתולות עניות, שאין
צדקה גדולה מזו
שולחן ערוך יורה דעה הלכות צדקה סימן רמט:טו Those in charge of charity funds who have money to distribute
should use these funds to marry off poor women - for there is no greater charity than this! (Shulchan Aruch Yore Deah 249:15) -- The greatest charity is to bring a poor orphaned Kallah to the wedding canopy! (Shach) -- For this is for the establishment of the world and one becomes a partner with the Holy One blessed be He in the creation of the world - for He did not create it to remain empty, [He fashioned it to be inhabited] - Levush
Bayit Chadash -
is not a regular Hachnasat Kallah fund. Our goal is to help orphans and those who have no parental assistance. Dear Rabbi Shear,
Thank you again for all the aid (financial and otherwise) your organization, Hessed ve-Emet, provided in helping a needy bride to get married recently, after we approached you for assistance. As you know, there is no permanent rental housing here in Israel and couples just starting out must often pay high rents (including municipal rates and utilities) for tiny flats and have to move from place to place when the owner wants the flat back, in addition to wondering whether they'll ever have enough money to afford to buy a place of their own. These conditions can lead to constant financial stress which in turn affects Shalom Bayit and it becomes even more acute once children arrive on the scene. Any help which can be obtained to relieve this situation may be considered as a great mitsvah in establishing a true Jewish home. May your efforts in this regard be crowned with success. -- D & S.W (Maaleh Adumim) Where no special mention is made regarding the purpose of the donation,
donations will be used at the discretion of Rav Eliyahu. Donations will be given to a couple in need the most. |
