At every Jewish wedding, the chatan and kallah receive the traditional blessing: "May you be zocheh to build a Bayit Neeman B’Yisrael". Unfortunately, there are many young couples in Israel for whom starting a new home presents an insurmountable financial burden. They cannot afford to purchase the most basic items to stock a kitchen or bedroom and begin their lives as a Jewish family.
Emunah B’Simcha , a new charity started by a group of young women, and operating under the auspices of Emunah Jerusalem, is working actively to identify couples in need. Each couple is referred by a reputable institution and then presented with a gift package of new linens, dishes, cutlery, pots and pans and blankets.
Some of the recipients of the Emunah B'Simcha packages come from very troubled backgrounds with little or no familial support.For them the package is not simply a financial help, but represents emotional support, that there are people who want them to succeed in their new life together.
