What's Up on WhatsApp?
Hi,
We wrote you a few months ago about the great stuff we’ve been sharing on WhatsApp. Since then, more and more content is being sent out (almost) every day.
Here’s what you need to know to get into the game: Our WhatsApp number is +1 (570) 543-2125. You need to save that number in order to receive our messages. Then, message us with the word “CHABAD,” and we’ll add you to our list.
Here is what you can then expect:
#StorySunday: a beautiful Jewish story to start your week right.
#TorahTuesday: a video with a lesson on the Torah portion of the week.
#WonderingWednesday: an intriguing Q&A from our Ask the Rabbi Team.
#ThoughtfulThursday: a though-provoking message by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman.
And every Friday, we send you a sharable poster with Shabbat times in major cities all over the world.
We look forward to seeing you on WhatsApp!
