I read the English book about Mrs. Benjaminson's grandfather "Deep in the Russian Night" and I was so inspired. My 9 year old son saw the book laying around the house and he picked it up and read some of the book. I asked him "What do you think you learned from the book? What was the lesson" He told me "v'ahavta es Hashem b'chol l'vavcha b'chol nafshicha uv'chol meodecha"!! Reply

Chabad.org is very special to me, especially" Ask the Rabbi" site, so a big thank you to everyone.

Now that Israel is fighting for its life, I have to ask myself what one isolated person, such as myself, can do. Financial donations don't seem to do the trick because this is a global problem and is so tied to politics and history.

Do any other readers have suggestions? I'm sure that Chabad will be deluged with requests from everywhere, going forward. Reply

B"H
It was really nice to put a face to a name, Having hand a response from Mrs Benjaminson through Chabad.org. Then listening to the heartfelt positive response to a mother in need, brought years to my eyes.
Chabad.org is one of my favourite resource places, a wonderful website for educational courses and a variety of Rabbi's teaching Torah. Thank you, for all your efforts these are greatly appreciated. Reply

I listened to the podcast episode version of this, and for me, it was inspiring to hear about Mrs. Benjaminson's experience working long hours, and I identified with that. I'm a student employee groundskeeper for my school, I try to make room for a social life, and I have multiple hobbies as well. Things can get really busy, and it's unfortunately easy to forget G-d. I find that one thing that helps is maintaining some type of Jewish community. Attend any free courses on Jewish topics you can find, whether they're in person or online. I've started up a Jewish Studies binder, and I really love it. Reply

Chani Benjaminson has responded to many of my mundane queries with such warmth and engagement and willingness to help that I am grateful as much to her as I am to Chabad.org. Thank you for this uplifting video. A query: part of my hearing is crushed. Can Chabad.org consider sub-titles? Thanks again, Anthony. Reply

Kudos to you Chanie, so nice to put a face to our communications! And kudos to your mother, Sara, whom I knew in Crown Heights. And to your amazing work. Kol Hakavod and May Hashem give you much strength to continue helping so many! Reply

May Hashem Bless you for your holy work, granting you life, health, and strength.
I think many persons are in a quest for happiness. They believe that receiving love will give them happiness. I believe that the truth is just the opposite. A person does not achieve true happiness by receiving love but by giving love to others.
May Hashem give you health & strength to continue your avodat Hakodesh! Reply
