History of the Mazal Tov Fund

The Mazal Tov Fund started in 2006 when Yaakov Yosef Feinstein, Rabbi Mati Kos, Rabbi Yonah Bookstein, and Rachel Bookstein had just celebrated the wedding of two orphans. The entire cost of the wedding and trousseau had been raised through small monetary donations and donations in kind. From across the world we received an outpouring of encouragement and support. We realized that there was a need to raise funds for couples that cannot afford to get married, and provide guidance and education to young couples before they wed. Many couples cannot afford even basic wedding costs, home furnishings, or pre-marriage counseling. Orphans, immigrants and Jews by choice do not have the support network and infrastructure to raise the necessary funds for the wedding. We restarted the fund in 2025 to meet the need again to help couples get married and expanded our mission to also help families that are paying for their childrens' weddings.
