Picture of the Day: The Mazkir and the Singer
Popular Israeli singer and composer, Yishai Lapidot (of Oif Simches and Kinderlach fame), greets secretary of the Rebbe Rabbi Leibel Groner at the wedding of the wedding of the daughter of Shliach to Kiev Rabbi Yonasan Markovitz in Jerusalem last night.
The wedding was originally scheduled to take place in Kiev, but was relocated to Israel due to the political upheaval currently underway in the Ukrainian capital.

A bride from Kiev, Montreal girls visiting Israel, a snowstorm in Philadelphia, and a wedding in Jerusalem.
An emotional story of divine providence .
Two weeks ago Rabbi Michael Dahan , dean of the Chaya Mushka Seminary of Montreal, came to Israel with a group of 16 students for a yearly trip. While in Israel, the Kallah Malky Markovitch, a graduate of the seminary, called Rabbi Dahan to inform him that her wedding, planned for Wednesday in Kiev, was relocated to Jerusalem because of the current unrest in the Ukraine. She then asked if the group, who was supposed to return to Canada on Tuesday, would be able to remain in the Israel until the wedding. Immediately, Rabbi Dahan tried to postpone the return flight, so the group can be at the wedding, but to no avail. The airline refused and the group is scheduled to return to Canada on Tuesday.
The rabbi suggested to the Kallah to make the Sabbos Kallah in Jerusalem with her classmates, so that she can at least rejoice with her friends before the wedding. Malky spent a very joyful and exciting Shabbos with her friends, despite lingering disappointment that the group would not remain until the wedding itself, considering that few friends would be at the wedding because of the location changes.
However, on Monday, Rabbi Dahan found out that Philadelphia was preparing for a blizzard forecasted for Tuesday. Immediately, the Dean had an idea. Since the group is scheduled to fly through Philadelphia, Rabbi Dahan asked that the group’s flight be postponed for two days, ostensibly to prevent the possibility of staying stuck in Philly.
The plan succeeded, and the Dean and his wife, along with 16 of the Kallah’s friends, surprised her and came to the wedding. The bride was happy to be able to dance with her friends, despite changes in her wedding location.
