Someone should find a way to get this out to all Chabad Houses and emissaries, just think how many people they can reach.

This is great.  I know these letters are having an impact.  (How would I have heard about the site if not for some marketing, anyhow?)

I also think it wouldn't be so bad if the rabbis in a town got such a letter with ONE LITTLE UPGRADE:  a little post-it note on it.  It would say:
"... AND I AM A MEMBER OF YOUR OWN KEHILLA.  WE ARE EVERYWHERE!"

In my view, that's even more of a wake-up call.

I have had my own share of sexual challenges over the years (I'm still a newbie, so my story is out there for introducing myself to everyone - arrgh).  In one case, trying to explain to the Rav that "we are everywhere" wasn't working until he found me by accident in some newsletter I didn't even know I was in.  He was nice enough to ask if I wanted to talk about it.  I did.  It was gevaldig. 

Having such chats with your rav is not everyone's cup of tea, I know, and having it hoist upon you involuntarily is even less appealing.  Even so, getting such a letter with just the generic text might not be as powerful as a yellow sticky saying, "yoo hoo, I'm part of your minyan!"

Just a thought.

And now for a dose of bitter reality: Chabad isn't public about these things and they wouldn't be at all supportive.

I know of a way to contact every Chabad house. It would be a waste of time and energy though.

see my post on the breaking free



Tomim: I have the website link, but I have to copy/paste the info for every single chabbad house!! Do you have a shorter way. Even if they won't post it, they have reffered people to this site, see my post in 'breaking free'

Rav Bresinger of "Project Pride" is Chabad, and I am supposed to speak with him this week. He is a big supporter of our work. Maybe he can help...
