Web site
I love this site. I just found it today and it is fantastic. It is answering a lot of my questions and helping me understand the meanings behind the books of Torah and High Holy Days. Thank you.

Blessed Month
May you be inscribed and sealed for a Good Year.
Your articles helped me feel the presence of Hashem. Would like to recite Slichot Prayers in English as I do not know Hebrew and not a Jew by birth. I look forward for fasting days from Rosh Hashannah for 10 days culminating in Yom Kippur.

E-Cards
Hi - I was looking for some great RH e-cards to send & I found them on your site, but then I started reading all the Yomim Norayim info and found it a really excellent reminder of all the things I should be thinking about. I work alongside a fabulous Lubavitch man and he will be VERY happy that I am logged on to our wesite! Shanah Tovah to everyone!

Rosh Hashonah
To our friend in London, England. I am from London originally. My husband is from Brooklyn. Yes, he is Jewish too.
The Lubavitch are, in my opinion, very warm and inviting. From my experience they do not want you to be anything but yourself.
To each and everyone who reads this wonderful 'Post A Comment' L'Shona
Tovah.
G-d Bless all of you, Israel, and our troops.

L'Shonah Tovah
Chabad celebrates the joy of Judaism and shares G-d's love and light with Jews in each welcoming congregation or via the innovative web-site. I am inspired each morning by the daily dose of wisdom from the Rebbe. May G-d Bless all His children with health, happiness, success, and peace. Happy New Year!

have we forgotten our joint past history!
in these modern times, with so much for some, & so little for others, we should do more, for less, not for gain, but for god. if every person tried 2 be a little less selfish, we all might make it, in the times ahead!

Your website
I am really not not a practicing Jew. I'm one of those who always keeps Yom Kippur, however. I don't know if I'm breaking a rule being on this website tonight or not. I think this is such a wonderful site. I've learned so much it's unbelieveable and I've used your cards for all my family and friends. Thank you for the knowledge you give and the way you explain it in terms that I'm able to understand. The entire site moves me, teaches me, and makes me feel much more a part of Judaism.

Reconnection with my Jewish Heritage
Chabad has been very instrumental in helpiing me reconnect with my Jewish heritage. Everything I have read on the website has helped to reinstall the beauty and joy of being Jewish within me.

e-mail signatures.
I have the hebrew characters for B'H set up to go automatically on top of every e-mail I send out. This article reminded me of the importance of signing each e-mail with Ketivah vachatimah tovah during this important time of year. I added that to my signature at the bottom before I had finished reading so I would not forget,. Even when writing e-mail, it is nice to remember all those we speak to are important to G-d.

Thank you so much!
