Op-Ed: What We Can Learn from Satmar

by Rabbi Shea Hecht

I was sitting at the smorgasbord of a wedding the other day.

I can’t say I knew either side very well, but I helped raise money for the wedding so I thought it was only right for me to show up and wish the family Mazal Tov.

I turned to the person next to me and asked him who he was related to at this wedding. To which he answered, “Neither side, I just helped out here with money so they can afford the wedding and I felt I wanted to come and say Mazal Tov.”

It then dawned on me that many people that have Parnassah still need additional help to make a wedding.
