Mazal Tov! Rav Vozner’s Handicapped Granddaughter is a Kallah (ad)
Yitta Miriam, 26, is one of the ten siblings. She is one of Rav Vozner’s granddaughters and has much perseverance and Emunah. Like any birth of a child, her arrival brought joy and light into the world. However these were not regular circumstances.
Born in the 5th month of pregnancy, one of Yitta Miriam’s arms and both of her legs were paralyzed. Over the years she and her family have tried many different treatments but none have been effective. To this day she is wheelchair-bound.
However, in the face of this adversity, Yitta Miriam has remained strong, making a life for herself and working in the Jerusalem city municipality. The thing that she has continually yearned for is the chance to build a bayis ne’eman b’yisroel and to begin a family of her own. Family and friends say that her siddur’s pages are blurred and wrinkled from years of her tears, davening for her bashert.
Baruch Hashem, Yitta Miriam met her zivug and is engaged to be married in Yerushalayim. Her chosson, an orphan, is not disabled. He has committed to being her partner in life and helping her to get through daily life.
However, with the price of medical treatments and many children on one side and no parents on the other, their finances are extremely modest. Between a stipend from the Israeli government and a special foundation set up by Kupat Ha’ir in Yitta Miriam’s name, the chosson and kallah have begun to prepare. But with only months to go, they have nowhere to go home to after the wedding.

Mazal tov! This is amazing good news. I hope hashem continues to bless people that need a shiduch with such good news.

Why is it necessary for the title of the article to say the”handicapped granddaughter”? We can see from the picture that she has challenges. I think the title is very demeaning to her.
Parent
Agreed
Dvori Paul
I agree with you!!
Very Demeaning.
AGREE with #2
Terrible to minimize this lovely young woman by defining her.
Mazal Tov
I suggest the headline should be changed to:
Mazal Tov: Rav Vosner’s granddaughter is a Kallah despite her challenges.
She is not a handicapped kallah. She is a kallah who has a handicap.

Inspirational! The tears from crying into a tehilim are not wasted. Or as shadchonim say: Every pot has it’s lid – as long as the pot and lid are willing to accept each other.

Mazel tov to a beautiful couple. I also suggest the title of the article be changed to reflect their extraordinary characters, not limitations.

Why are the words handicapped and orphan used? Is it against the law for such people to get married? The tone of the article suggest it’s a miracle that they ever found a loving partner to share life with. Both look like intelligent, attractive people who have the capacity to build a strong home and committed marriage. I myself have a handicap, the Holt-Oram syndrome, and have been happily married for over 33 years. The couple deserve more credit than the article implies.

by all means, i am sure they can use help and all should help, however i wonder till what age can you use the term “orphan” … maybe its the white hairs that throws me off…
Or..
She is just a beautiful kallah, and that’s that!
