Pots of honey are being delivered to more than 200 homes in the south side of Borehamwood in the run up to Rosh Hashanah to mark the launch of a new charity for young couples.

Dvash (honey in Hebrew) has been started by Rabbi Yosef and Carri Solomon, who live locally and say they want to help couples to have happy and healthy home lives.

To this end, the charity will organise social events and learning and community engagement activities.

Rabbi Solomon has quit his role as director of Tikun, a learning hub for young couples and singles, to focus on Dvash.

He is an experienced educator and marriage counsellor. His wife is involved in marriage enrichment and health issues. As parents of a large family, they feel they also have practical tips to share with young couples starting out.

“We’ve set up Dvash to give young couples the tools to build and enjoy a great marriage, start a family on the right foot and create a happy, healthy Jewish home,” Rabbi Solomon said.

“There’s a lack of educational opportunities for young couples around the issues that matter most to them — preparing for married life, building a happy home, having children and being part of a community.”

The charity would aim to work with all synagogues in the area.

He added that there was “nothing as meaningful as a loving relationship and nothing as special as parenting done right. It’s just sweet — sweet as honey.”

Recipients of the numbered honey pots can enter a raffle for prizes including a night in a honeymoon suite at a London hotel.

The honey will also be available in local Jewish stores and restaurants.
