Celebrating 14 years of excellence of the Silverstein Hebrew Academy and 7 years of chesed and kindess of The Friendship Circle
Dear Rebbe,
When you encouraged Jews to begin putting Tefilin 30 years ago, many stoof by and snickered. Today, thanks to your foresight, millions of men put on Tefilin daily, millions of candles brighten Shabbat tables, millions of pennies have filled millions of pushkas and millions of Jewish homes have been touched.
Where others have made committees; waited for grants to be approved; set up subcommittes; decided that due to lack of funding a program woud have to be aborted; and built wonderful edifices with skyscrapping offices; You and your emissaries have demonstrated that a touch of Jew on need only have the willingness, determination, and a real understanding of what Ahavas Yisroel means.
On behalf of the millions of neshamot that you have kindled, we humbly say thank you.

Founded in 1990 with the guidance and blessing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Chabad of Great Neck is nurtured and supported by concerned members of the Great Neck and Long Island communities. Chabad is dedicated to the strengthening of our Judaic faith, principles, identity, commitment, and pride. Chabad House is a unique and vibrant center, providing a home away from home for everyone who walks through its doors. Its Rabbis, staff and volunteer workers are pioneers in the most literal sense, treading a path and showing the way to bring the light of Torah and tradition to all. Acceptance of everyone on their own level, regardless of their level of religious commitment or practice, has become a trademark of Chabad. And by blending Jewish values with modern day techniques, we have been successful in reaching even the most alienated, helping them appreciate their roots and identify with their Judaism with pride. Thanks to G-d’s infinite blessings and generous support and involvement of members of the community, Chabad of Great Neck has grown rapidly during these nineteen years. We need your help! Every dollar you give will go directly to support our educational and social programs. Please, help us continue our important work. Become a partner in this special Mitzvah. In years to come, you will stand proud in the knowledge that you have done your share. Help build Jewish education, solidarity and pride for future generations.

CoHen HeBrew sCHooL: Established in 1992 with the support of Jack Cohen in memory of his parents, the school provides children, kindergarten through seventh grade and Bar/Bat Mitzvah, with a love for life, and for learning Judaic studies.

Dear Friends,
With great pleasure we celebrate the 22th Annual Chabad Dinner “Letters of Blessing.”
Our honorees this year are an outstanding group of people. They are Curtis Katz, Mojgan and Jerry Kahen, Afsaneh and Abe Daniels, Doreen and George Zobel, Lauren and Asher Abesera, Steve Israel, and Anna and Darren Kaplan. Dedication to Jewish causes is a way of life for our honorees and each and every one of them has demonstrated vital concern that our heritage continues to be transmitted through our children and our children’s children.
Success in our endeavors is only possible through the committed support of all of you, the Jews of today. Together we can continue to grow in knowledge, understanding, and stronger adherence to our meaning for being placed on this earth.
Our honorees tonight have shown leadership and courage, discipline, and vision paving the way for Jewish children of tomorrow. Yes, we are confident that together, we will bring our goals to reality.
Thank G-d our Friendship Circle expands daily and will G-d willing have a permanent home in our new facility. The Silverstein Hebrew Academy’s dedicated faculty continues to offer an exceptional Jewish and General studies education, and as many of you know first hand Chabad’s doors are open to every Jew that knocks.
My ongoing promise to all of you is that the efforts of Chabad of Great Neck will not falter nor will they waiver in their commitment to the Jewish community.
Chanie joins me in wishing you and yours a year of health, happiness and prosperity.
