Seudas Aniyim at the time of the wedding
There is a beautiful and time-honored Jewish tradition to host a parallel meal for the poor at the same time as one celebrates their own wedding.
This is known as Seudat Aniyim – literally, a meal for those in need.
In earlier generations, this meal would take place alongside the wedding itself, sharing the same joy and occasion. While today circumstances are different, it remains a deeply meaningful mitzvah — and a special blessing at the beginning of married life — to sponsor meals for families in need in Lod, Israel on the very day of the wedding.
Ideally, a Seudat Aniyim includes as many guests in need as there are guests at the wedding celebration.
The cost of one meal is $12 per person
Minimum sponsorship: 10 meals ($120)
Through this meaningful act, your wedding day joy brings warmth, dignity, and nourishment to families in Israel. 🤍🍞✨
