Important Passover request for you!
By the Grace of G‑d
I trust that this pre-Passover note reaches you on a high note, preparing with Matzah, wine, maror and Haggadahs to celebrate the Seder’s timeless and joyous reenactment of our Exodus from Egypt!
If I may be so bold —
We can really, really use your help at Chabad.org now!
Our team is working ‘round the clock to personally answer the questions and queries of people from all walks of life, and all over the world, while balancing their own Passover prep and their families’ needs.
In between scrubbing their stoves, mopping their floors and doing their Passover shopping, these selfless men and women are summoned by the continuous buzz of their email:
“My son is living in Abu Dhabi. Can you help him with a seder?”
“Sofia, Bulgaria?”
“I’m alone without family or a seder in Iowa…”
“I’m stuck in Laos.”
And:
“Can I kosher my oven for Passover?”
“I am going to attend my first Seder ever. What should I expect?”
“Do we do anything different this year with Passover and Shabbat starting together?”
“Why do we drink four cups?”
“Can you help me sell my Chametz?”
“This is our first time we’re joining other people since the pandemic began, and I’m nervous…”
“What did the Rebbe say about the Fifth Son?”
“We live in ___ and have no money for food for Pesach. Can you help?!”
With their signature patience and care, our rabbis and counselors painstakingly respond to each individual, helping to ensure that he or she feels connected to and comfortable with his or her Jewish heritage.
During the past 10 days 2,912,673 unique users arrived to Chabad.org, seeking to connect to three millennia of timeless, priceless wisdom and guidance, in eight languages!
And throughout the year, many more people, of all levels of knowledge and observance, all “Four Sons,” come to Chabad.org for meaning and guidance and answers to their most important challenges and questions for life.
Can you please help them?
Your kindness will ensure that our “Ask the Rabbi” counselors will continue to respond personally to the heartfelt questions that people ask at all hours of the day and night.
The world needs this critical lifeline, now and all year-round. Someone you know may need it, too.
Your gift will ensure that Chabad.org’s team can keep up with the increased demand.
Here’s how powerful your donation will be: You’ll help people in crisis. You’ll help many people learn that their lives have deep purpose and meaning. You’ll help people who feel like they live in spiritual isolation discover that they have a rich heritage to tap into.
They are people of all ages. From all walks of life. From nearly every country. They seek a connection… to their own souls, to community, to the Torah’s timeless insight.
Indeed, the Rebbe, of righteous memory, taught that we dare not rest until every Jewish child (or adult) – even the Fifth Son who doesn’t know that there is a seder! – has Jewish knowledge and education!
When you connect people to the kind and patient advice of our rabbis or counselors, you are assuring them that they are loved and cared for. That they are the apple of G‑d’s eye. That they have a unique role that only they can play for the entire world.
Your donation will help people transform their life challenges into a story of spiritual Exodus and spiritual triumph!
