If you have any questions at all, we are happy to be as transparent as possible.

My name is Chanie Schwartz and Rabbi Sytner is my brother a well-known Rav in America (you can Google him) and we are working together on this project, as he generously volunteered to reach out and try to help this Yossom for his wedding. You can reach my brother at asytner@gmail.com and I can be reached in Eretz Yisroel at 310 587-4034, Or 02 589-7909
My email address is adtz@netvision.net.il

As far as this particular story, Rav Ackerman from Beitar Illit is personally involved, as well as Daniel’s Rav, Rav Toledano from Yeshivas Das Chaim in Bayit Vagan.

I was the Shadchan for this couple, Daniel Altov and Sara Karpol (from Beitar). I am happy to speak to anyone and provide a letter from the Rabbanai Hair who would gladly verify the story.

I know you are asking to just be sure, and again, I appreciate it and respect your caution. Thank you to everyone who has come forward and participated in this special Mitzvah.

May we be Zocheh to besuros tovos and yeshuos for all of Klal Yisroel!

The story sounds genuine but one is entitled to ask before donating, as he gives no personal contact information.

It’s a big zechus.

As with every (emotional) appeal, it is incumbant upon all donors to verify the truth of the story as hundreds of thousands of $ get to the hands of scammers every year.
