A Mikvah Instead of a Dowry
November 28, 2017
The holy Rav Mordechai, Magid Meishorim of Chernobel raised a relative who was an orphan in his home. The orphan became a Choson and Rabbi Nochum was forced to travel to collect money for the wedding expenses. When he had finally gathered the money, he reached a town that had no mikvah. He gave all the money for the construction of a mikvah.
(Admorei Chernobel pg. 86)
