Dear Fellow Yidden,
Four years ago, I took achrayus of the Kesher organization because I could not turn away from the heartbreaking tzaar of so many precious young women still waiting, hoping, and davening for their shidduch. Behind every name is a bas Yisroel, a family, and tears that Klal Yisroel must not ignore.
Hagaon HaRav Dovid Schustal gave voice to this pain at this year’s Adirei HaTorah, speaking of the הצנועות באחותינו צרות מאות ואלפים הרבה, who are בצער שרויות, still waiting to find their zivugim hagunim.
When I assumed leadership of Kesher four years ago, I restructured the organization to answer that cry: supporting dedicated shadchanim, guiding volunteers, and creating the structure needed to bring more shidduchim to life. Baruch Hashem, in just the last two years, Kesher has helped make over 275 shidduchim—275 moments of joy, relief, and new beginnings.
This is a responsibility that rests upon all of us. I ask you to stand with me in this avodas hakodesh, so that together we can continue helping bnos Yisroel find their zivugim and build beautiful homes in Klal Yisroel, b’ezras Hashem.
Rabbi Moshe Bender
Nasi, Kesher
