Devorah Helped...
October 24, 2011 12:10 am

…with my Wife’s wedding! She and her saintly husband and their childredn, ke’h, should do well, and even better! those who unleashed on #6 could be too harsh. however, #6, you are not correct. Next time you see her, give her a dollar, and make it a habit to give her at least once aday – can you imagine this way you are also BUILDING k’lal Yisroel? Healthy Sweet Year to All!

Segula for a shidduch -- support Devora!
October 23, 2011 10:19 pm

The Rebbe has said that a segula for a good shidduch is to give 18 cents a day to tzedaka for Hachnassas Kallah. Get a KSCVK pushka and start donating today — for yourself, for your child, or for your relatives and friends! With all the wonderful things people see Devora doing, it’s only the tip of the iceberg. Her chessed goes above and beyond what most people can even imagine. May Hashem bless her, and may Lubavitch and Klal Yisrael experience a flood of fabulous shidduchim in the new year.

I am from Australia and B”H didn’t need financial assistance for my children’s weddings. However, Devora’s assistance in helping organise certain details and her beautiful manner, made things so much easier for our family when we were in Crown Heights. Please don’t only appeal to rich people, but to anyone who is earning money and is responsible to give maaser.
Devora, I wish you and your family only wonderful brochos and Hashem should give you the koach to keep doing the wonderful work that you do, so lovingly

Go Devora!

A true example of ibergegebenkeit- total devotion- to her fellow Yidden. Devora- you have thousands of fans worldwide:)

I have bought her lunch, water, danishes on several of the days she sat there. Another woman made supper for her family. To everyone else with your negativity, just give a her a dollar or two and thank Hashem that you are able to do a mitzva.

thankyou
October 23, 2011 11:56 am

My Wedding
October 23, 2011 11:38 am

And the weddings of my many married siblings happened only because Hashem chose to give us this tzadekes who cares so much about chassanim and kallos. Our special day is due to her. I cannot think of a better place to put our maaser money. Yashar koach!

devorah rocks!
October 23, 2011 10:45 am

but she won’t see this comment, ’cause she doesn’t look on this site because she’s collecting money and busy running around helping everyone!

AN AMAZING PERSON!

Devorah does amazing work and has a real “eizer kenegdah in her husband Shmuel”.

I hope none of the foolish detractors above have had her help out at their or their familys’ simchos, lest the label themselves ‘kefuyei toivo”!

Just a question and a suggestion for all those who see her outside Empire Kosher or at Simchas beis Hashoeva, ask her if she would like a drink or perhaps a sandwich and thank her for her wonderful work with a smile even if she politely declines.

ANSWER To number 6
October 22, 2011 9:02 pm

You must not have a opinion in anything, your truly a crazy person, she, just as number 2 has said has helped and is helping thousands of chassanim and kallah’s, and her family wants her to do that they are more happy if she makes money to support chassan and kallah’s than her to be home erev yom tov, Okay, so state your opinion elsewhere, and you gotta to your craziness, I would not be surprised if you are just jealous of her, she is a tzadekes, ALL RICH PEOPLE PLEASE SHE IS THE JEWISH HEROINE OF TODAY, SHE URGENTLY… Read more »

at least we all got to speak to Devorah and tell her what was going on in our lives and spend some time with her, but everyone should give anyway

She was there in the rain on Hashana Raba.
October 22, 2011 7:21 pm

She is AMAZING.

Impressed
October 20, 2011 7:08 pm

Well done. Such a tzadekes!!

your family in israel
October 20, 2011 12:05 pm

whey yo go devorah keep up the good work

go devorah and where are you?
October 19, 2011 6:04 pm

agree with #2. no shame? the families should not be shifting their burden on her… go out and help her!

She's truly a tzadeikes
October 19, 2011 6:00 pm

so proud to know her!!!!!!!!!

why is she there?
October 19, 2011 5:55 pm

Doesn’t she have a family who needs her erev yom tov? This has to stop. We live in a shcunah who other people take care of everything from birth to death, why bother working. We have somebody who will pay for the wedding, brissim, yartizits and other obligations not private organizations. Take responsibility of your family and pay your bills yourself, thank you

Number 2 said it all!!!!!!
October 19, 2011 5:45 pm

M rs. Benjamin in a true Jewish heroine!

i saw her
October 19, 2011 5:22 pm

i was in ch and saw her sitting there!keep up the good work and good luck!keep making the chossons’ and kallos’ families proud with all your hard work!!!

good job!
October 19, 2011 4:55 pm

I like that after the end of her campaigns, she actually posts what she collected!

Hey rich people
October 19, 2011 4:47 pm

We all know Devorah is amazing,we all know about the hundreds of people she has/is helped/helping……she should NOT have to be sitting outside empire kosher in the heat,rain etc after all these years of dedicating her life to our community!!! U should all be ashamed of ourselves!!! Open up ur hearts and pockets and pledge a ongoing donation or give a once yearly huge lump sum so she can just get on with doing this amazing work without the stress of the huge financial burden involved!

Thank you!
October 19, 2011 4:16 pm

Keep up the great work!
