What Do You Wish We Knew?
Dear Friend,
Every two weeks we editors discuss plans for Chabad.org. One of our favorite activities is to look at your reader comments, to see what you like and feel about the content we produced. And the best way to get those comments is by… asking you!
So:
If you have a minute, we’d be most grateful if you could click the link below and share with us the following in your own words:
- What does Chabad.org mean to me? How has it changed my life? What do I look forward to reading? What do I find most useful and inspiring?
- What do I want to see more of? If I had the ear of the decision-makers at Chabad.org (and I do!), what do I want to ask for more of? Inspiration? Information? Quizzes? Lists? Videos? Stories? What features do I wish the site had?
Obviously, a lot of you will have different needs, different perspectives, and different ideas, and you can be sure that we will be reading all submissions with our utmost attention.
Thanks in advance for partnering with us in making Chabad.org even more amazing!
Your Friends @ Chabad.org

As the school year ends and people take vacations, many want to leave all responsibility behind them. But when it comes to Torah study, there’s no such thing. Just like when we complete the communal reading of Torah, we immediately begin once again, the same is true of our own lives.
Blind faith cannot grasp Truth, because it does not grasp anything at all.
Intellect cannot grasp Truth, because intellect is finite and Truth is infinite.
Only the eye of the soul, its inner wisdom, can grasp Truth and know it as she knows her own self.
For she is Truth.
