By the Grace of G-d
Dear Friend,
We are one nation, each of us responsible for and inextricably bound with the other.
Every single month, as more than 1.6 million unique visitors from around the world turn to Chabad.org to find meaning, gain understanding and connect with community, we try our hardest to nurture this unity.
As I write these words, members of our team all over the world are answering thousands of Passover questions, coordinating seder placement worldwide, and finishing new Passover articles and post-Passover features. Wherever there is a Jew on this planet earth, our dedicated staff is working to provide him or her with extraordinary living and learning tools, to help him and her join with the entire whole.
But we do not accomplish this alone!
It is only in unison, in partnership with you, that we are able to provide these resources to child and scholar, poor and wealthy, seeker, dabbler, and advanced questioner, every one of them, 24 hours a day.
The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory taught our generation all about collective responsibility. (Tonight and tomorrow are actually the 110th anniversary of the Rebbe’s birth; a very auspicious time to reflect and learn from his life and teachings!)
In time for Passover the Rebbe would urge that every Jew search for the "Fifth Son" — the Jew who does not even know about the holiday — and bring him and her to our seder table.
As we all sit down to our seders later this week, our job has only barely begun. As the Rebbe taught: we dare not rest until every Jewish child has a Jewish education!
Which is exactly what inspires our work here at Chabad.org — and precisely why your partnership is so integral to us: Together we can accomplish this important work!
Please help us help the countless thousands across the globe who we'll never meet but whose destiny is ours to share:

Sincerely,
Rabbi Zalman Shmotkin
Director, Chabad.org

P.P.S. — We're living in historic times, and now, more than ever, we must act on our responsibility to help our young people — and their parents and grandparents — discover and delve into their heritage, to help them bond with other Jews, to help them feel part of one whole. Today. Tomorrow. And for many years to come. Please partner with us!
