GREETINGS!
FROM THE DIRECTORS...
Greetings! 

We're writing to you today to share our deep appreciation for support of Chabad of Rockville in 5782. As Jews around the world--in anticipation of Rosh Hashanah--engage in self reflection, we consider the impact Chabad of Rockville has been able to have on individuals in our community, thanks to your generosity.

To highlight one powerful initiative your donations help make possible, check out the following messages received from participants in recent Shabbat experiences with Chabad of Rockville: 

"We thoroughly enjoyed being a part of your Shabbat celebration yesterday. So kind of you to have included our family!"
- Jewish family who's son became observant and was in town for a visit.

"Thank you so much for Shabbat lunch, we love your company, and appreciate all you do for the community with your warm and non-judgmental attitude.",
- Young Jewish mom who regularly participates in The Lessans Family Mommy & Me programming.

"I can never say no to a Shabbat dinner with you guys!"
- Chabad of Rockville's YJP (young Jewish professional) member who created a local network of Jewish friends thanks to our YJP group. 

Thank you for helping us touch these Jews and so many others!

May the Zechut and merit of your loyal partnership in the holy work of Chabad of Rockville stand you and yours in good stead for a Shana Tova - sweet, happy and healthy new year!
