The Satmar Rebbe affixed mezuzahs in a new, magnificent wedding hall in Williamsburg last week. The hall, named 'Pardes Feiga', will significantly ease the financial burden of parents who are marrying off their children.
The Rebbe especially returned from the 'Divrei Yoel' Satmar camp in the Catskills, where he is currently vacationing, to participate in the kevias mezuzah event at the simchah hall in Williamsburg.
The hall opened its doors to the public on Monday of this week, when the first wedding was held. The hall offers subsidized prices for parents who are struggling with the chasunah expenses of their children.
Only a handful of askanim participated in the kevias mezuzah ceremony, including philanthropist Rabbi Eliezer Kastenbaum and his family. Rabbi Kastenbaum funded the entire building of the hall, upon the request of the Rebbe shlita.
After the Rebbe had affixed almost all mezuzahs, he honored the philanthropist with the kevias mezuzah of the last one, after which the Rebbe conducted a l'chaim tisch.
This week, a grand dinner on behalf of the 'Tov V'Chessed' tzedakah organization will be held in the hall, which has already gained popularity within the frum community, and several simchahs have already been booked at the simchah hall.
