Special Guest - R’ Mordechai Machlis

R' Machlis is a truly righteous man, a teacher both by profession and by his very life. He hosts 200 people in his home every shabbos and has inspired thousands. 

His late wife, Rebbetzin Henny, was a truly singular outstanding woman. She lovingly opened her heavenly heart and home to many many tens of thousands of guests from every imaginable background. In her own unique way, Henny served as a caring mother and dedicated role model to so many of these people. 

The Rebbetzin keenly understood the special spiritual significance of hospitality and generosity and - with the help of Hashem - successfully opened new torah gateways and pathways in the cherished areas of chesed and hachnasat orchim. Henny often spoke of the heartfelt appreciation that she felt towards Hashem for allowing her the privilege of living in the holiest of lands and in the holiest of cities. She often remarked that it was the special divine blessing of Yerushalayim which enabled her to actualize so many of her aspirations.
