As we enter into the last weeks of 2010 many of you will consider making end of year donations to various organizations. Please consider helping YOUR Chabad with a generous year-end gift.
 
Clearly we are living in difficult economic times. There is virtually no one who is not affected by the terrible downturn that has taken place over these last few months. I understand that finances are tighter than ever for all of us.  I know first hand that many of us are making less while everything is costing more.
 
However, dear friend, that is exactly the reason why YOUR Chabad needs your help now more then ever!  We depend on charitable contributions from individuals and corporations to cover the lions' share of our budget.  Many of these large contributions have been much more difficult to come by due to the current situation.

This week Chabad at Chestnut Hill received a $24,000 matching pledge to help us end the year without a deficit! This kind matching pledge has been generously offered to Chabad by The Milgram family, Groysberg family and Excel Mobile.
 
However there is a condition: It is for the month of December only!
 
I turn to you, my dear friends and community, for help at this time.  Please consider a year-end gift of any amount to help offset the deficit in our budget. Please do the best you can for us so that we can continue to do what we do to help bring more yiddishkeit to as many people as possible.

Please G-d, together we will get through these challenging times and once again enjoy prosperity and success. May you and your loved ones be blessed with Hashem's blessings for all that is good and joyous.  Thank you for your friendship.
 
Happy Chanukah!
