By the Grace of G‑d
Erev Yom Kippur, 5783 • October 4, 2022

Dear Friend,

A few hours before the onset of Yom Kippur each year, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, would enter the synagogue for prayer, holding a bag of coins. Long tables were covered with scores, perhaps hundreds, of charity plates — representing an array of causes, from food for the poor and assistance for needy brides, to schools and mitzvah campaigns and more.

Despite his impossibly tight schedule, the Rebbe would deliberately and carefully place coins into every plate, taking great care not to skip a single one. Each one represented a community or an individual who needed help, materially, emotionally or spiritually.

In his urgent desire to help each individual, the Rebbe did not consider even one of them to be insignificant or unworthy of his precious time.

When we dig deep into our own resources to fill the plates of others before Yom Kippur, we can emulate the Rebbe’s extraordinary example. And our Sages teach us that when we do so, we encourage G‑d to similarly throw wide open the doors of His bank account, to judge us mercifully and grant us each abundant blessing for a truly happy, healthy and sweet year. 

And G‑d, we know, has plenty to give.

At Chabad.org, where millions regularly turn to fill their plates with spiritual inspiration, Torah learning, or practical tools to enrich their Jewish experience, we try hard to do so all year-round.

Our rabbis, counselors, editors, programmers and designers are motivated constantly by the awareness that at the other end of the screen is an individual — millions of individuals! — looking for a lifeline, to fill his or her plate with spiritual sustenance.

We can only fill those needs thanks to wonderful, caring people like you who recognize the importance of this mission… and generously partner with us in this work.

So as Yom Kippur quickly nears:

Can you please partner with us to fill the plates of the Jewish People…?

For many who turn to us every day, we — you! — are their only Jewish lifeline.

Would you please open your heart real wide to help them?

May your charitable partnership stand you in good stead as G‑d opens His bank account real wide. May He bestow all of the deepest of His blessings upon you, your family and the entire world, to be inscribed and sealed for a Happy, Healthy and Sweet New Year!

Sincerely,

The Chabad.org Team
