Story
This week, two mothers deeply connected to our school had to face terrible news. We have asked for rabbinical advice on how we all can make a difference and help their cause and were told that the mitzvah of Hachnasat Kallah is a special segula for an ill person (see the story of the Steipler Gaon below). The cheapest wedding costs £6000 and so we decided to raise the money in the merit of Yocheved bas Sara and Chaya Rochel Ettel bas Shulamis. It will go to a Kallah fund we are in touch with. Please help us so they may they have a complete refuah!
Rav Kreiswirth visited the Steipler Gaon for advice as he was suffering from a grave illness. the Gaon told him that the Mishna places the Misva of hachnasat kalla in between the Misvot of visiting the sick and attending funerals because it has the power to disrupt the natural process of illness and death. Although serious illness very often can lead to death, Heaven forbid, this process can be halted through the Misva of hachnasat kalla, by working to assist couples who wish to get married. Upon hearing this insight, Rav Kreiswirth immediately began devoting himself to fundraising on behalf of needy brides and grooms, and, Baruch Hashem, he lived another 25 years.

5 years agoAnother update on Yocheved bas Sara: She has started Chemotherapy and will soon have her 3rd round. In layman terms: The doctors hope that the Chemo will make the cancer shrink so they can operate which at present isn’t possible. This would increase her life expectancy. Please continue to daven for her recovery- every tefillah is needed! Thank you for your support!

6 years agoUpdate 2 Yocheved bas Sara also still needs all our tefillos- here is a personal message she shared yesterday: "Thank you all, I am so shocked and comforted by the way you are all davening for me. I'm not feeling ill, looking ill and I REFUSE to be pushed into the "exit only" queue. I'm a fighter, not an impersonal statistic and will- with the help of H'B'H and the strenght of this incredible community- nail it!! Thank you every single one for your tefillas and your love."

6 years agoupdate 1:Thank you so much for your support! We have now sent most of the money to the Kallah fund, since then bH more people have donated but we are still very far from our goal. Please SHARE this page! There has been a tremendous improvement in Chaya Rochel Ettel's condition in the last two weeks- she has been moved out from the ICU and has fully regained the ability to breathe independently. She is able to speak and is making miraculous progress daily! Please continue to daven for her as there is still a long road ahead.
