It Was Their Second Anniversary, And Her Last Day On Earth

This week Mordechai Frankel made headlines after launching a Chesed Fund crowdfunding campaign. With just five days remaining until his wedding, the chassan and kallah are reportedly both living in a state of extreme poverty. The fund was launched in hopes of covering their basic needs.

Those with an eye for details have also noted that Frankel was also the subject of international news this time last year, when he was injured in the horrific 402 Egged bus accident. His wife at the time was killed in the crash. Israeli television showed emotional footage of wheelchair-bound Frankel, released by the hospital to attend the funeral services.

Since the campaign’s launch, donors from around the world have contributed, in hopes of giving this young man and his bride a new and joyful start.

Notable gedolim from the Eidah Chareidis have also publicly issued statements of support, standing behind the validity of the fund and the urgency of the need. As the clock ticks closer to the couple’s wedding date, the world looks on in hopes that they will  not begin life in poverty, particularly after all of the suffering they have already endured.
