We make it possible for poor couples to have rich weddings
Weddings for Poor Couples
One of the noblest forms of Tzedakah is known as “Hachnosas Kallah,” ushering in a poor bride. Helping a poor young couple celebrate a proper wedding without assuming a crushing debt burden is a very special mitzvah indeed. By providing funding for weddings for poor couples without them being burdened by insurmountable debt, Colel Chabad undertakes a significant mission.
Weddings for Poor Couples: How Colel Chabad Helps
We take great pride in our dedication to assisting the less fortunate—one of our most impactful initiatives is our efforts to provide funding for weddings for poor couples.

The opulent Gutnick and Luxenberg Wedding Halls, overseen by Colel Chabad, radiate an air of elegance akin to top-notch hotels and private catering establishments.
Introducing these wedding halls into the market has reduced wedding costs across the board, bringing financial relief to thousands of struggling families annually.
The Lowenthal Mobile Catering Truck
In another endeavor to extend our reach and support to rural communities, Colel Chabad operates the Lowenthal Catering Truck. This mobile catering facility was designed to bring celebrations closer to the underprivileged.
The truck boasts a fully-equipped setup, including:

This initiative makes weddings for the poor accessible, fostering a sense of community and togetherness even in remote areas.
