Three years ago, Yisroel Levin and his Kallah, Elisheva Kaplan, were killed in a horrible car accident on Chol Hamoed Pesach. This tragedy shook Klal Yisroel, and it inspired the creation of 10K Batay Yisroel – a project meant to inspire each one of us to suggest Shidduchim. Since then we have seen a Shidduch nearly every week attributed to this special movement.

Tonight, Eli Levin has released a brand new song meant to bring awareness to 10K Batay Yisroel. The song describes the story of that devastating tragedy, and describes the selfless request his father asked of Hashem at the Levayah of Yisroel and Elisheva: 10,000 Shidduchim for Klal Yisroel.

Please share this song this Pesach, and if it moves you, take a moment to think of someone you know who is waiting for their bashert and think of a shidduch for them.

Then head over to https://www.10kbatayyisroel.org​ and log your suggestion. This will help motivate others to do the same!

With Hashems help we will see many more Chasanim and Kallahs walking down the aisle this year! May we continue to bring Z’chusim in their memories.

LYRICS:

It’s Chol Hamoed Pesach, Wednesday night Right before Yom Tov a Shidduch was made. Chosson and Kallah, the happiest pair in the world.

Together, the two of them drive down the road. Chatting and dreaming about their bright future. Who would have believed that this is where everything would be shattered?

The world was darkened by the horrible accident. The Chosson and Kallah were killed together instantly. Thousands of Jews mourned this terrible tragedy Prepared for the Chupah, but off to a funeral instead.

The father is crying along with everyone else Creator in heaven, whatever you do is good! No, I don’t understand, but this is how a Jew lives But today is Pesach, and you know the custom The children sneak and steal the Afikomen And after the father asks them to return it Then the children can request a present in exchange.

Father in heaven, so sudden, so quick You’re reclaiming your Afikomen, my child! I’m giving it back with hot tears streaming down my face.

I watched it carefully, and I understand it’s for the good. If you want it back so soon I’m returning my sweet Afikomen into your hands Now, I would like to request my gift in return.

Heaven and earth are all watching and listening What will this father ask for in return? For such an Afikomen he can ask for anything!

He cries – Master of the world, I’m returning my Chosson. But we do not have enough Shidduchim in Klal Yisroel I’m begging from you to unite 10,000 Chossonim and Kallahs.

Everyone is shocked and amazed by this request. He’s not asking for himself, he’s asking for Klal yisroel. People have been focused on this goal, working hard to make it happen
And since then there’s been a Chuppah almost every week!

The father is crying along with everyone else. Creator in heaven, whatever you do is good! No, I don’t understand, but this is how a Jew lives. But today is Pesach, and you know the custom. The children sneak and steal the Afikomen. And after the father asks them to return it. Then the children can request a present in exchange

How many Yiddishe households have already been established. Generations of children, an entire world! It’s impossible to measure the nachas, how holy and pure.

That one Chosson and Kallah, above us in heaven. Together with the Creator they stand
Father, I thank you for this present of mine. The most beautiful Afikomen that can ever be

The father he stands and he raises his hands. He says Aibishter I don’t need to understand
I’m a Jew, I’m your child, I have faith, my Emunah is strong

We can’t see through the ‘nistar’ (hidden) to see the full picture. Only you can determine what’s right. I accept your decision to reclaim your Afikomen that night. And I thank you for all the Shidduchim you helped us unite. Every Shidduch will add to the zchusim we send all the time
