[RBS] seeking hosts for Likrat Kallah parties abroad-maybe you know someone who would be interested

[Pinhasik's]

Likrat Kallah is known for its home parties-get togethers where someone
invites friends to her home, along with light refreshments, sometimes an
interesting lecturer or demonstration, a talk about the gemach and everyone
who comes merits the mitzvah of Hachnasat Kallah by bringing a gift for a
needy kallah, which is then distributed by Likrat Kallah.  B"H, many women
in Ramat Bet Shemesh have hosted such parties.

Perhaps you have relatives/friends in America or England who would be
interested in hosting such a party.  It's a great chance to:

 1. help kallahs in Israel whose families are experiencing financial
difficulties and need the extra help-in our case, in the form of six, new,
basic household items. 
 
2.  get your friends involved and have them do  chessed in their community
 
 3.  ask H-shem to empower the mitzvah with the 2 segulot it is specifically
known for
(i.e. ***a refua sheleima as seen in the morning prayers Ailu Devarim
Sha-adam Ochel Perotahim where the mitzvah of helping a needy kallah comes
smack between Bikur Cholim, visiting the sick and Levayat Hamat,
accompanying the deceased.  The Steipler, zt"l, explained that is is because
the mitzvah of helping a kallah can be a buffer between the two other
mitzvoth. 
***And, in the area of Shiduchim.  As Rebbetzin Rothman of Neve Yerushalayim
said, "If you want H-shem to help you with your kallahs, you have to be
helping H-shem with His Kallahs!)

I am hoping to be abroad late June/early July and thought that this would be
a great opportunity to attend parties abroad.  If you think you can contact
someone and interest them, please send me a note and we can work on it
together. Remember-while it is a fundraiser, it's not an overwhelming
endeavour-a home party with a few friends and donations that can help but
aren't in the ball park of a new building (although it would be really nice
to receive such a sum!)  

Thanks, Sadeena Pinhasik
