B"H By G-d's grace (isn't everything?), I returned to Cincinnati to Chabad of Southern Ohio for the holidays. My soul is recharged! After years of seeking what could never touch the Jewish neshama, 12 steps saved my life, but Chabad (baruch HaShem) continues to save my soul. I am forever grateful. -Richard Wolfson, Portsmouth, Ohio

How come you don't show the Rebbe giving Lekach to the women? I find that it was part of the uniqueness of the Rebbe, that women were always included in anything he distributed , be it dollars, Tanyas, Kuntresim or Lekach.

Thank you for the beautiful video of Lekach from the Rebbe. It brought back precious memories of receiving Lekach from the Rebbe's holy hand. I can almost feel its spongy texture and smell its sweet aroma. Most of all though, I can recall the Rebbe's beautiful smile and warm wishes. With prayers for the Geula Now and a Gmar Chasima Tova.

In case it has been decreed upon a person to turn to others for help this coming year, it should
already be fulfilled now, by receiving this sweet cake.

| After the Yom Kippur service in the Holy Temple concluded, throngs of worshippers would accompany the High Priest back to his home for a holiday feast. Why the big celebration?

6 Tishrei, 5742 • October 4, 1981
Teshuva requires that a person make an honest assessment of his spiritual standing. To do this, it would seem ideal to isolate oneself from all distractions, to focus on one’s past deeds. Why do we see, that on Yom Kippur – the main day for Teshuvah of the whole year – we spend the entire day in a public place, in synagogue, together with so many others?
