Who is the GENIOUS that invented this!?!?!!?
This is super funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
This is the coolest tool online I have ever seen.
Todah, Chabad.org!!!
|
Everyone is getting one of these.
|
this is great!!!!!
thanks for make everything easy for us...
|
Thanks for all the effort and time you put in,
always good to receive info etc.
|
this is a wonderful way to send a greeting
all my relatives and friends LOVE it.
maybe more catagories for women
thanks for the fun!
|
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Chabad dot Org is my home page. I stay connected to my roots everyday. Every day I learn, I'm reminded, I'm entertained and enlightened. I wouldn't know what to do without my daily dose of wisdom, laughter and yes a little pain....
Thank you!!!

Great way to send a message!
Maybe a few more categories for titles to send.
I have friends with Sephardic names and the "Rabbi Gram" did not accept them. Also not some of the Jewish ones. Not a criticism, but maybe good for you to know.
Some other enjoyed activities could be: working too hard, procrastinating.
|
Fabulous! I LOVE It! Sent one to everyone I know (Jews & non-Jews)! It is a WONDERFUL way to greet the new year! How about adding some work titles- like Artist, Tourism, Construction, Farmer, Soldier (Jews do LOTS of stuff!)... and from "chaver", "chaverah", "yaidid", "yedidah", "shlemiel", etc... the possibilities are Endless! Shigaon! :-)
|
There is nothing like Chabad - they do it all and everything is first class.
|
Wishes do come true. I haven't had a lot of New Year's wishes, only one other than this. So this was extra special to get a speical Barukha.
Thanks Chabad for remembering!
|
this was a blast--but how aobut some more hebrew names! and how about a birthday greeting?
|
I love this message! I am sending it to everyone I know!
|
I shared a New Year greeting with my brother in Wien, Austria. Super! I only wish that Rabbi Itche Kadoozy could pronounce my name Mikhal/Michal. Nevertheless, a lot of fun!
|
more bessing beloved brethren.
Thanx
|
I really enjoyed the Rabbi and I will be sending the Rabbi's message along to members of the family. It could catch on like wild fire. Thanks !
|
by the time you find the cards, rosh hashana is over. Why do you have to make so complicated to find a simple nice card to send, it Can be done so EASY and fast !
|
It seem very nice in the beginning, but I don't like part where they ask for donation, it sounds like an ad.
|
I received the email about this card on September 7. Which means that mass mailing of this ad was on or around that date. The two reviews on September 7 were quite sobering, one mentioning the donations, the other complexity. And then - all the previous reviews were just extatic ! (Wow! Wonderful! etc, etc.). With all due respect to Chabad, do I miss something here. It is nice to send Rosh Hashanah cards to the fellow Jews and I'm going to do just that, but I hate to be taken for sucker Too many organizations did it before, so I might sound 'burned out' but that's what I feel.
|
To all those kvetching about the "pitch" for a donation to chabad.org: these things do cost money to be produced, you know. Would you rather chabad.org charged us to send them???
|
i love it!!!!!!
im sending it to everyone!
|
it scared me when i heard him say my name ! (but then i figured out it was all from my brother!)
|
I love it, sent both of my children a card.
Thank You!

WHAT a beautiful idea. But this does need to be worked on.
1. you have not given a wide enough general list of selections to select from.
2. what possessed you to list a choice of amiga or amigo? Any reason? i am not even going to begin to tell you how this rubbed me the wrong way! what is wrong with usig the Hebrew words chaver or chavera or Just FRIEND?
3. the way you used to insert to solicit contributions for Chabad was very badly stated and in very bad taste. I am a big supporter of Chabad and it was 'embarrassing' to me. Certainly, I would never send out this e mail to any of my family and or friends.
This part does need to be worked on..and maybe in this case, solicitations should not be used.
The e mail itself would be such a beautiful 'advertisement' of all that Chabad does...
People are going to be left with that ending...of money money money...it just isn't going to sit well with anyone 'outside' of being involved with all that Chabad does good.
|
I can't imagine anyone being offended by the request for a donation. It's unobtrusive and blends right into the humor -- not in your face at all. In any case, you hear the whole thing before you send it. So if you don't like, don't use it. (your loss though -- it the most amazing thing to hit the Jewish web since Itche Kadoozy!)
|
I think we SHOULD donate, we had a laugh and i respect the Rabbi's message. I think it appropriate to donate for this little peace of invaluable advice. Thanks for bringing me closer to Abraham.
|
And as for the complaints about the donation pitch at the end -- I think this is a delightful way for a worthy organization to try to cover their budget. Not in-your-face, just cute, and completely not intimidating.
Keep it up Chabad.org!
|
Hey, my Daughter sent this to me and used the service. I think, therefore, that its only right that SHE make the donation! No? HA HA
|
Loved the card, have already sent it to a couple of people. I hope whoever thought this up makes it available for other occasions.
Regarding the donation -- hey, I get asked for money in far less amusing ways!
These people do good work and though I'm not the frummiest (?) of people, I don't mind sending them a little support.
Shanah Tovah people.
|
This is sooo cute!! I love it! Definitely worth your time!
|
This is just great! I took a chance and sent one to a relative from whom I had become estranged. He liked it so much that he emailed me back, and at least now we are speaking. Only Rabbi Itche Kadoozy could have pulled that off. You guys at Chabad did a good thing when you came up with this one.
|
Very nice way to send Shana Tova to people that we liked.BUt it's also a great idea of fundraiser.
Shana Tova Chabad! Good idea Rabbi !
|
as a sceptic, who gets chabad.org emails and didn't even bother checking out thr rabbigram option; I was really impressed after someone sent it to me (from their phone number) it blew me away with your creativity and professionalism. Chabad!
|
This was quite a surprise. In the message the Rabbi says it's his "job" to be "judgemental" Since when does Chabad judge people? None of the Rabbis I met do. Why point out someone's negative qualities this time of year. The message didn't even give you a choice to leae it off...you had to judge your fellow Jew on some negative axis. The teaching I learned was we don't focus on people's negative qualities and are never judgemental.
Or is that the point...this Rabbi is approaching the holidays wrong by only focusing on the dark instead of the light?
|
This is a great concept, but let me offer a suggestion. There are so few choices within the various categories. For example, the relative that drives my friend nuts is her brother. Yet you had nothing for brother/sister. She loves acting and theater. What about including "entertaining" or theater or acting? Perhaps the choices within categories can be expanded.
|
WHAT A HOOT - COULDNT STOP LAUGHING! BRILLIANT!
|
hysterical and instructive...shanna tovah tektievu!
|
I have been sending it to family and friends.
|
The rabbi's accent sounds phony. Find a better actor. Apart from that, it's adorable.
|
very humorous and clever and at the same time, lets a friend know you're thinking about them
|
HI, I really enjoyed your new e-card. THis is neat and thanks.
|
Shana Tova Chabad! Good idea Rabbi !
|
I really enjoyed getting and sending this message. What a riot.
|
Appropriate and entertaining
|
It just needs a few more options in the categories.and also a box for a personal note after it's finished.
Thanks
|
You have got a wonderful site.You need more options.
|
Love this information on the intenet..It is wonderful and much appreciated by our family... Thank you for bringing this to us.
|
Rabbi I'm assuming YOU are Jewish-
How can you not say Batsheva or Tzivia or Brynna???
They are Jewish names!!
So I had to use my secular name which we never call each other!
C"mon, you can say a list of Jewish names into your lexicon of computer digits or whatever those things are called.
You're funny and pret-ty good, pretty pretty good.
|
Although I'm not religious, I was born Jewish and will always be. That said, I don't think this rabbi-gram is very funny being sent in the High Holy Days.
You'll get me contribution when you do a true stand-up comedy act.
|
This is great ! I love it !
|
this is so cute its just hilerious
|
Most enjoyable & entertaining programe and would like to send to friends and family for Birhdays, Anniversaries, Bar/BatMitzvah's etc.
More Yiddish everyday cards please!!!!
Thank you
|
Im not jewish, but these cards are funny! The puppet should have his own show!!!
|
He does have his own show. It's very funny and informative. Look on the right side bottom block on this page and click...
|
I like the Itche Kadoozy show, but this message is really obnoxious.
|
A waste of my time and he doesn't even sound Jewish!
|
this is very good! and cool I've set this to many people
|
So different and so funny, I just loved this from my darling son
|
I don't know why people posted those remarks. I thought this was funny and everyone I sent it to loved it.

I think his work is very important and a man is worthy of his hire but there of some of us who want to hear what he has to say and don't mind donating if we could. What are we suppose to do besides pray.
