We have a lot to be thankful for. Including having the opportunity to help others empathetically at this difficult time. We in Houston all know too well the difficult time those stricken from hurricane Sandy are going through.
www.ShluchimFloodRelief.com will go directly to the families of Shluchim (Chabad Rabbis, Rebbetzins and children) whose homes and lives have been devastated and are in desperate need of your support.
www.JewishHurricaneRelief.com is a central fund that will be used in overall support of communities, families and the rebuilding effort. Please do whatever you can – it will make a world of a difference.
Every penny, 100 cents to the dollar, of your contribution will be going to help people rebuild their lives. Pumps, generators, batteries, water – that’s what they need – and what we must give.
We are also thankful to be almost completed with our extra long window replacement project. It has turned out beautiful and has really given an amazing facelift to Chabad of Uptown.
Simchos are times to be thankful as well!
