Let's make it a really good year!

As we count down to Rosh Hashanah, we reflect on our achievements and our disappointments, our hopes and our fears, both personal and global. By the Grace of G-d Dear Friend, As we count down to Rosh Hashanah, take stock of this past year and look ahead to the one upcoming, we reflect on our achievements and our disappointments, our hopes and our fears, both personal and global. But some of us cower in fear: "This world is a very scary place!" we cry out. "I feel too small, too insignificant, to make a real difference!" Incredibly, though, Rosh Hashanah weighs in with a resounding response: "It's G-d's world," the holiday assures us, "He will not let it falter." However, He desires us to be His partners. So He gives each of us the power to turn our world upright, to perfect it. "You CAN change the world!," our High Holiday prayers and teachings tell each of us encouragingly. Moreover, they proclaim to us all assuredly: "Together, we WILL change the world!" * We each have a unique role to play in G-d's grand orchestra. And He holds the baton. The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, would frequently quote the Maimonidean adage: Each person should see himself as though the entire world is in delicate balance and, with but one deed, he or she can tip the scales for good. Every good act, every expression of kindness and love, acts like a thousand antibodies to neutralize the viruses of evil and, more importantly, to germinate the world with holiness. Let us each do our share. And then G-d will surely do His. * With the above in mind, and in urgent collective and global preparation for Rosh Hashanah, we'd like to ask you: Would you please [partner with Chabad.org]( to help spread the teachings of goodness and kindness, of hope and holiness, to as many people across the globe as we possibly can?
