 Who is the Groom?
 There are three people who can have the honour of being chassanim (grooms) during Simchas Torah. Tradition says that these bring huge blessings for the new year, both for the one who buys it and the one for whom it is bought.
  
 In most shuls they go for thousands of dollars each. Nefesh has made it much more affordable for whoever responds first. They can be bought by a single person or a syndicate. This really is an ideal gift for the man who has it all, and a beautiful way to honour special people in the community. 
   
Simchas Torah (Friday October 1):
 Chosson Torah - last call-up in the entire Torah: $540
Chosson Bereishis SOLD - first call-up in new cycle of the Torah: $540 
Chosson Maftir - last call-up of the day: $360 
  
 Please respond now to this email to reserve one of these honours. Although only men can perform them, women can buy them and thus the honour is theirs to give. They can also be purchased anonymously. 
  
 NOTE: Although anyone can buy the honours, Nefesh policy is that no one person can receive an honour two years in a row, and no one person can receive any one of the three honours more than once.
  
 The proceeds will go towards our Sukkos celebrations, to which everyone is invited:
