Image of Jewish Heart If you look at the following article you will see a picture of the image I am speaking of, enjoy! It is called "The Jewish Heart" and can be found on Chabad.org Reply

so refreshing to listen to This was the first time I heard Sara Esther speak. I really enjoyed listening to both of the audio clips you have chabad.org. The lecture was so refreshing and inspiring to listen to as I folded my laundry after a long day.

Her voice is pleasant to listen to. The information is presented in a clear, concise, down to earth and yet uplifting manner... Reply

This was a wonderful lecture with many insights. Thank you for opening up this line of thought. The idea of contacting each other during the middle of the day was interesting. We have always 'touched base' in the middle of the day. Even when he is out of town on business we talk three times a day. It is one of those things we just have always done. Also, could you please place a picture on the site of the 'Jewish Heart'? Thank you for sharing your insight. Reply

Where to give! Thank you for your comments, they are very much appreciated! Chany, and all others, if you are looking for a place to give, my dear friend Dalia lost her husband right after Pesach. She has four small boys, ages 6, 3.5, 2, and 4 months. They need all the help they can get! Here is a site to help them: www.chabadofla.com/paz

May we only hear good news! Reply

Motivated and Inspired to Give The first thing I thought about when I heard your speech was "Who I can give to." But before I did that I wanted to take the time out and "give feedback" and say that you have extraordinary power to motivate and inspire your listeners. Thank You! Reply
