The hall was built magnificently and elegantly, with amazingly low prices for the benefit of the community, to reduce wedding expenses. It is a donation of the esteemed Rabbi R' Meir Zelig Ripler a"h, the Rosh HaKahal of our holy kehilla, and may he be distinguished for long life, his worthy wife Mrs. Ripler tichye, and their son, the distinguished philanthropist R' Fishel.

Likewise, that the wedding times should be kept early and end early, which is the foundation for keeping prices low. He also cautioned against various breaches, such as excessive grammen at chuppos, and likewise called for giving the mitzvah dance only to the grandfathers and distinguished men.
