In the heart of the Bnei Brak Industrial Zone, there stands a magnificent large building complex with prestigious and luxurious banquet halls for weddings and events called the “Armonot Chen”.
Surprisingly, despite the pomp and luxury, the prices of standard events in these Halls, are not high and are affordable to all (41 shekels per serving …) and needy families also receive a significant discount depending on their situation.
However, the main concept, unique and first of its kind, is that in these magnificent halls we also organize “Mitzvah Weddings” also called “good deed weddings” because they are held for needy and orphaned grooms and brides. The “Hasdei Naomi” Organization finances these weddings, including the Hall, the dinner, and all the associated expenses required to enjoy a tasteful respectable ceremony like anyone else.
Details of discounts or of non-payment for the event are summarized and discreetly signed at the “Hasdei Naomi” Organization offices. The guests, who arrive at the gates of the Hall, have no way of knowing who paid for the event. The “Armonot Chen” Banquet Halls quite soon turned out to be a favourite centre to organize joyful events for all classes of people and sectors. There are some wealthy people, who actually want to have the wedding of their children at the Banquet Halls “Armonot Chen” as a message and a statement about not wasting large sums of money on the joyful ceremony.
Moreover, there are those celebrators, who, on the day of their joy, are happy to be able to help orphaned and needy brids and grooms. Many of them pay an additional contribution for the joyful event of orphans. In recognition, these orphans, who are getting married becuse of their generous contribution, pray for the donors under the wedding canopy – The “Chupa” –, which is a well-known Segula for
all for salvation and success.
