This is great website! I thank you for creating a website; Teaching, sharing knowledge, and sharing information on the Jewish Holidays has been a great asset in my learning
Thank you,

I grew up in a non-religious household, where we went to shul 3 times a year! Now, with our son, we're trying to do more and since I don't know any of the prayers, this is so helpful! It's hard to figure things out without someone holding your hand and telling you what to say AND how to pronouce it too! Thanks!

I live in a town with a small Jewish population that is very divided. Thank you for providing a place for me to feel connected - it fulfills a deep need and I am extremely grateful.

Thanks for your website. I live in a medium sized city with only one shul. I am not welcome at the temple for being an Orthodox Jew. I am "too Jewish", wearing tzit-tzit and a kipa in public. Without this Chabad website life would be a total bore

We, too, live in a place with no Jews- Landgraff, southern West Virginia. And BOY does it get lonely here, esp. at the Holidays! We might as well be on the moon! Thank you for being there, and for being my Jewish "life-lines"...

I am very very thankful for this wonderful website. The Chabad Website I used to visit every friday afternoon is the one where i am able to learn every jewish custom and traditions. Long live Chabad.org. I never miss the chance to visit this website every friday afternoon

Thank you is too little a phrase for what I am feeling. I have gratitude, love, warmth, and a familial connection to others with this site.
I really am sorry I don't have family here, or anyone to go to services with. This is a really sweet gift.
This year being alone is a bit daunting for me, and this makes it less so.
Thank you again and I wish you all a kind, sweet, healthy, and loving New Year.
p.s. to anyone non Jewish who wishes to light a candle and say a prayer...Thank You. This is so kind and sweet, how can anything that is purely good be inappropriate? May you have all the blessings I wish for my loved ones, and Israel.
