Hi all, I don't know how to write, and can't afford paying a professional copywriter to write a small poem or a short four line letter for the Kalla.

Can anyone help me write up something tied into Tu B'shvat?

I am sending her an evening bag + a Tu Bshvat Platter.

What am I supposed to even write? something tied into family? / roots/ offspring's?

I'm really not familiar as this is my first, and don't have anyone to ask.

Thank in advance!

Iyh simchas by all of you!

Dear Kallah,

"Ki Ha'adam Eitz Hasadeh," to a tree we're compared
As so many qualities are jointly shared.

From your beautiful family you have grown strong roots
And your exemplary middos are bearing great fruits.

These gifts are an expression of the nachas we've grown to see
As you begin a new branch of your family tree.

With love,

WOW. WOW. WOW.

I'm so overtaken by this!

I honestly did not expect such a beautiful and well written poem. You are very talented Bli Ayin hara!

An hour ago I was so stuck and concerned about this. I don't have the skills to write like that, and as I said, I don't have who to ask for help. An idea popped in to my mind that I should maybe ask for help on Imamother and that maybe one of the fellow Ima's will be kind and generous to help me. Let alone, write something up for me!

I am so thankful to you beyond words!

May the happiness you just brought to me be a Zchus for you and for all of Klal Yisroel!

Thank you!

What does the above line mean? Meaning what is it trying to say? what kind of qualities are you referring to? and shared with what? with the Etz?

From your beautiful family you have grown strong roots
And your exemplary middos are bearing great fruits.

What do you mean by we've grown to see? We didn't see her grow up. She is engaged to our son. Can you someone explain to me what the expression means?


With love,


Can anyone answer my questions? I wrote it in the red font.

TY

It's a poem, not a literature lesson. Use it or don't. She was very gracious to write one for you. Stop analyzing

Serious question OP: you wouldn’t feel disingenuous signing your name to something you didn’t write?

Maybe OP can add a line saying that she had a friend write the poem for her.

Why can't op ask for an explanaition to a line. She wants to understand what it means, not overanalyzing. why are you making her feel bad?
