Is One Guaranteed a Place in Gan Eden for Matching Three Couples?
Question
First, I would like to thank you for all that you do; it is a tremendous mission, and I am proud to be part of Hidabroot. I have a question: It is said that if one matches three couples and they get married, Gan Eden (Heaven) is guaranteed. Now, in establishing the "Sheva Brachot" website and donating money for its operation and establishment, and if couples meet and marry, is Gan Eden guaranteed?
Answer
Greetings, As far as I know, there is no source stating that one who matches three couples is guaranteed a place in Gan Eden. Also, see in the book "Segulot Raboteinu" (page 230, Question 17) where Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, of blessed memory, was asked, I heard that one who makes three shidduchim (matches) merits a special place in the World to Come. Did Maran, of blessed memory, hear this? He replied: I have not heard of it. However, it is certainly true that anyone who takes part in establishing this great initiative of "Sheva Brachot" is a partner in a great mitzvah, and Hashem will reward them, and their remuneration will be complete from Heaven.
Best regards, Hillel Meirs
