Dear fellow Jew,

My name is Bluma Schlesinger from Elad.

I’m turning to you just a few days before my wedding. I have no choice – I don’t have even the bare minimum!

My parents work hard for a living - my father teaches in a Cheider and my mother works as a housekeeper/cleaner, but it still hardly covers the expense of running a home.

They have no way to help me with the wedding. My chosson comes from a very poor family and they cannot help either. I love him and want to marry him. I cannot digest that we will not be able to get married because of the lack of money.

I’m not looking to make a fancy, expensive wedding. I’m only asking for the bare minimum so that I will be able to start my life on the right foot.

I am so grateful for all your help and give you a bracha that you should be zoche to rejoice in the simchas of your loved ones, with happiness joy.

Amen
