The relationships a kalla has and sees can make a big difference to the way she views and approaches marriage. The relationship between the kalla and her mother, the kalla and her teacher, and her parents’ own relationship, all influence her future. Providing positivity in relationships and education can be the greatest wedding present you can give, and you can never start too early.

A daughter of Rabbi and Rebbetzin Twerski of Milwaukee, Mrs Yocheved Weiss grew up watching her parents counsel and help countless people. She trained as a kalla teacher in 1990 and has since taught hundreds of kallos, including some from the next generation! Her advice is frequently sought in marriage-related issues and, due to the demand for her services, she has now trained ten more kalla teachers in the community.
