With Rosh Hashanah quickly approaching, allow me to share with you part of an email I just recently received:
Dear Rabbi Shmotkin,
...The world's news is growing increasingly more depressing. I fear in particular for Israel's safety and feel paralyzed to help it.
My husband's well-paying job seems about to become a thing of the past, and it affects him and all of us deeply. Our home and neighborhood have barely recovered from Hurricane Irene.
My kids absorb our tension and are acting up more than ever. They also keep asking us where's God, especially since just learning more about 9/11. (Hebrew School's no help - they hate it.)
And wherever I turn, my friends and peers seem to be suffering from similar lows.
Basically, my husband and I struggle daily now to keep it all together.
Amid this bleak picture, the only thing that helps us get through our week are the positive lessons we receive from you or find on your site. Almost daily I discover new things appropriate to share with each family member, something to give our lives meaning and purpose, and tools to cope and think positively. Even my apathetic, rebellious teenager has told me, "Mom, I gotta admit. This stuff rocks!"... I even overheard him repeating something about God and His governance of this world (!?) to his girlfriend.
I don't know the people behind this enterprise, and I don't really know how you do it, but please know that you are making a very serious difference in my life. I cannot imagine where my family and I would be if not for your amazing website.
Thank you and please keep up the great work!!
Debbie M.
