It is with great joy that Matzav.com takes this opportunity to wish mazel tov to Reb Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz, one of our generation’s most noted philanthropists, askanim and baalei tzedakah, upon the wedding of his daughter, Yali, last night in Los Angeles. The chosson is Shmuel Yissocher Dov Kornfeld of Montreal.
Dozens of special guests and rabbonim from all over the world made the trip to Los Angeles to participate in this wonderful simcha.
Reb Shlomo Yehuda serves as chairman of the Chofetz Chaim HeritageFoundation, among his many other positions of leadership. Over the last year, he has made historic contributions financially to such well-known institutions as Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim, the Kamenitzer Yeshiva in Yerushalayim, and Torah Umesorah for its Sandy Relief Fund.
Reb Shlomo Yehudah has spent years in the healthcare and medical supply industry, using his hatzlachah to better the Torah world, both in his local Los Angeles community and beyond.
Reb Shlomo Yehudah is a son-in-law of Rav Yisroel Belsky, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Torah Vodaas, posek of the Kashrus Division of the Orthodox Union, and one of the gedolei haposkim in North America.
Matzav.com wishes Reb Shlomo Yehuda and his wife continued success in all their endeavors and much Yiddishe nachas from the chosson and kallah and the rest of their family.

Sheyizku L’shanim N’eemutt V’tovutt!
He’s also donated to chabad, which happens to be a pretty large organization.
He may be a tremendous baal Tzeddakah to the rest of the world BUT here in Los Angeles we view him as one of our own. You don’t need to be a big organization to get his help. Everyone can ask for help and will receive it. By looking at the wedding guests you saw his chashivus. Not only was their a representative from almost every Jewish organization, but all of LA was invited. No matter what your bank account held. He and his wife and parents are erliche yidden the way Hashem wants us to be.
Mazel tov!!!!
i want 2 c pics!!
What a spectacular chasuna!
A great simcha for a great family.
Mazel tov!
He’s also chairman of Mishmeres Hasholom – a choshuva huge Israel-based organization that spreads shmiras haloshon. So he does it all in a big way: lots of shmiras halashon and bein odom lechaveiro and loads of supporting Torah. He is a gizbor ne’eman – may Hashem bentch him with loads of nachas and continued phemonimal financial success because he knows what to do with money!
The chasuna was beyond beautiful and was shared by nearly 2,000 people that were there including a VERY long list of choshuveh roshei yeshiva and rabanim from across the world including
