ADOPT-A-WEDDING
BRING SIMCHA BACK TO THE SIMCHA
Help a poor family make a beautiful wedding
While most families are able to find a way to manage that expense, poor families in Israel often just can’t bear it. They will resort to taking out costly loans that will trap them in a lifetime of debt. And an occasion that should be one of great happiness and excitement becomes marred by disappointment and anxiety.
But American Friends of Yad Eliezer | B'ezri's Gitty Perkowski Adopt A Wedding Program changes that.
The program invites Jewish couples from around the world to share the joy of their happy occasion by sponsoring the wedding of a poor couple in Israel on the same date as their own. Not getting married right now? You can still bring joy to couples in need by sponsoring their wedding. Dates can be chosen from our Wedding Calendar, and sponsorships can be made in the merit of a refuah shleima, in honor of an anniversary or yartzheit, or for a myriad of other events and purposes. Giving tzedaka to this program is the perfect way to do the incredible mitzvah of hachnosas kallah.
Your very generous donation to our Adopt A Wedding program will make a real difference in the lives of so many. You will be replacing their worry and concern over wedding expenses, with happiness, excitement, and great relief. Imagine their joy as they reach their chuppah, unburdened by debt and able to fully celebrate one of the biggest moments of their lives.
There can be no better wedding gift than that.
