It’s the classic pre-wedding gift: a colorful countdown ticking down to the wedding date.
The Kalla (bride) will blush every time she sees it, and get that faraway look in her eyes.
Not Esther Hacker. The wedding countdown is ticking, and she’s only feeling dread.
Her father is chessed powerhouse R’ Meir Hacker, who gives day and night for the Klal, and her mother is bedridden with a neurological disease. They have nothing to give Esther to fund her wedding.
Will she be able to raise enough to get married at all? Will they be able to feed their guests? If they can find an apartment cheap enough, will they have to do without an oven? A refrigerator?
Weddings cost, and Esther knows that the only way she’ll get down the aisle is through the generosity of the public. We don’t have long left. Hachnasat Kalla is an unparalleled Mitzva - please help Esther Hacker get married, before the countdown ticks to the end.
