This year, a simple invitation can enhance the Chanukah experience for many of our Jewish brethren.

People are usually very touched when you care enough to invite them into your home. Jews often want to connect to their heritage and are excited to take you up on a Chanukah invitation. You create positive feelings just with the invitation alone even if they can’t attend!

Make sure to forward this great initiative to three friends; we all have a family member, neighbor, friend, co-worker, or someone that we've crossed paths with who would love such an invitation.
 
To make it even easier for you, we will send you a free informational kit that includes explanations and tips on how to make your Chanukah party more enjoyable for you and your guests.
 
To join the program and receive your kit, contact Project Inspire at 646-961-4961 or yweinberg@projectinspire.com. You can also register and download the kit at www.kiruv.com.

Forward this great Chanukah invitation idea to 3 friends.

Tizku L'Mitzvos!

See You On Shabbos.Com: Where Shabbos and Kiruv Meet

We live in an age of global access that our bubbies' bubbies wouldn't have dreamed of. Today, we can "visit" the Kotel via a 24/7 live broadcast; frum web sites make limud Torah a "click-to-download" away; and matchmakers are online, reuniting neshamas who last saw each other at Sinai. Now, in the spirit of online convenience, making shabbos plans will be easier than ever before with www.seeyouonshabbos.com: an innovative new web site that will match shabbos hosts and their guests and put a hands-on kiruv opportunity within the reach of every frum family.
