[RBS] 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, an explanation about the gemach that
I give   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
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   :
                ***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
