In 1997 Nechama Leiter (nee Brand), the daughter of Nochum and Chana, passed away at the tender age of 32. Nechama was a caring, gifted person who was very particular in the mitzvah of tznius. She was a picture of grace and elegance and it is in her memory that Nechama’s Closet was established.
For the past nine years Nechama’s Closet has successfully helped countless kallahs and women with Sheva Brochos, Shabbos and Yom Tov clothing. We have recently started providing sheitels for kallahs and women.
