Dear Beloved Community,

As we enter into the last weeks of the current fiscal year many of you will consider making end of year donations to various organizations. Please consider helping Chabad of Mineola 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 Chabad of Mineola 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.

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 Judaism to and to help others.

Your support helps us continue our vital work, reaching thousands of Jews. Please remember that we depend entirely on local funds. We are not supported by any central office and every dollar of every donation stays local for the Jewish community.

We thank you for your support. Literally every dollar will be going to save lives!

Rabbi Perl
