The giving hand of this remarkable organization cannot be depicted better than through�the extraordinary couple that is its continual inspiration: Rabbi and Mrs. Zev and Chashie�Weiss, a�h. Infusing their home with Torah, mitzvos, and a burning, unbridled love for�every single yid, Rabbi Zev and Chashie Weiss� mesiras nefesh for gemilas chasodim and�tzedaka was legendary.
That legend became desperately underscored when a serious illness suddenly and without�warning struck both of them. Along with an abundance of tear-filled fervent tefilos to the�Ribono Shel Olam, the Weiss children – six of whom were still living at home and�unmarried – committed themselves to furthering their parents� devotion to the needs of�others by taking upon themselves the lofty mitzva of hachnosas kallah as a zechus for a�refuah shelaima for both of their parents.
Tragically, R� Zev and Chashie, the pillars of the Weiss home, left this world in the prime�of their lives, leaving a deep vacuum in the hearts of their family and in those that�lovingly knew them. The legacy of their extraordinary ahavas yisroel and chesed,�however, lives on in the activities of Chasdei Chashie L�Kallah.
�Mazel Tov! My daughter became a kallah! I�m trying to feel the simcha – and although�we can�t afford much, we are managing the best we can by getting the things she needs�on sale – BUT BEDS DO NOT GO ON SALE!!! I realize this is something I cannot do on�my own – Your Chasdei Chashie L�Kallah has provided the beds and lifted a lead piece�off of our hearts! Thank you!�
�The economic times speak for themselves. My husband and I both lost our jobs. Now�with a kallah in the house, we did not know what to do!! By setting up the beds, dinette�table and chairs, their once bare apartment will become a home that they will able to�show for themselves! Thank you, Chasdei Chashie L�Kallah!�
�Chasdei Chashie L�Kallah, how can I put into words the wonder that you have done?�After notifying you about the x family, you wasted no time in responding and reacting,�discreetly delivering beds and a beautiful dinette set to a new home that otherwise would�have been empty. When the kallah set her eyes upon the furniture, her face literally shone�with a refreshing new happiness. She and her chosson now share feelings of exuberance�that up until that moment had been sorely lacking!�
With utmost sensitivity, high quality mattresses, box springs, and in some cases, dinette�sets, are distributed to hundreds of needy kallah�s each year. Working with little�overhead and no paid employees, Chasdei Chashie L�Kallah�s dedicated volunteers work�discreetly to do background checks and to ensure that the dignity of the organization�s�recipients� is rightfully preserved. In many cases, the chossonim, kallahs and even their�parents have no idea where all the chesed is actually coming from!
Few people realize the extent of Chasdei Chashie L�Kallah and its silent, but active role,�in coordinating with other well-known organizations to completely provide for a young�couple�s new home. What may surprise people even further, though, is the list of kallahs�who are in dire need of Chasdei Chashie L�Kallah.
Chasdei Chashie L�Kallah�s recipients are your fellow yidden. They could be your�friends or neighbors. They could even be your own relatives�The people who show a�smile on the outside and greet you amiably as if they had not a care in the world, may be�crumbling under the financial pressure of marrying off a child. You, Chasdei Chashie�L’Kallah supporters, can ensure that once again simcha, with a light heart, permeates�these homes as they set out to build their home.
What is Chasdei Chashie L�Kallah?
Chasdei Chashie L�Kallah is the unbroken chain of chesed inspired by Rabbi Zev and�Chashie Weiss, a�h. It is the legacy that beckons each of us to ease the burden of a fellow�yid and be a privileged part of building yet another Bayis Ne�eman B�Yisroel.
