Avraham Moshe and Chavi Adamkar, of London, decided to spend the happiest day of their lives making others happy. They were married Monday morning in a modest ceremony in the Jerusalem Rabbinate, and then surprised 600 needy people - who usually come daily to the Meir Panim Soup Kitchen for a free hot meal - by celebrating their wedding feast with them. Yediot Acharonot welfare reporter David Regev reported that the Adamkars turned the modest lunchroom into a wedding hall for a day, with white tablecloths, fancy dishes and silverware, a sumptuous feast, and a band playing music. ?The atmosphere was festive,? reported Regev, ?and the many guests who celebrated with the bride and groom forgot their troubles for a short while...?



?Our purpose was to give some joy to people who don't have much,? the happy bridegroom said, ?We fulfilled the mitzvah [Torah commandment] of making a meal for poor people on the wedding day.? His new wife agreed, ?I'm thrilled that we were able to bring so much joy to needy people on our wedding day.?
