In preparation for Yom Kippur... from Rabbi Zalman Shmotkin "By the Grace of G-d" of Chabad in New York, New York, United States for Thursday, 6 October 2016
Dear Friend of Chabad.org,
As we prepare for Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year (Oct. 11-12), please consider this crucially important request:
Looking ahead at the year to come, anxious uncertainty clouds the horizon for many, both inside and outside the home.
If ever there was a time that demanded spiritual tools and inspiration, that time is now!
As stewards of the Jewish People's premiere online spiritual resource, we take our responsibilities at Chabad.org very seriously. In the coming year, tens of millions will once again turn to Chabad.org for essential information and services in eight languages.
We must be there for them!
However, to do so properly, to truly meet their needs, we need your partnership. We cannot do it without you!
To prepare for the immense responsibilities of this coming year we've set a High Holiday Appeal goal to enlist at least 5,400 generous partners like yourself. During this past week some 1,500 have stepped up to the plate.
As someone who hopefully derives demonstrable benefit from our team's labor of love, or otherwise appreciates the effort and goals of our work, we turn to you:
Please be our partner!

Please contribute generously at: www.chabad.org/YomKippurAppeal
(You can donate by credit card, Paypal or check.)
Your $1,800, $180, $36, $18, or even $5 will ensure that our lifesaving work continues!
We pray that G-d inscribes and seals you and all yours in the Book of Life, granting you a good and sweet year in all matters, both material and spiritual, personal and communal.
And we pray that it be a year of immense blessing for the entire world, peace and tranquility in our homes and in our country, peace and tranquility in Israel, and peace and tranquility across the globe!(Indeed, our Sages tell us that charity has the power to change the course of all of these!)
We look forward to serving you in the coming year, happily and healthily.
On behalf of the Chabad.org Team,
With deep gratitude and blessing,
Rabbi Zalman Shmotkin
Director
