Dear Chaim,
Last night was great, it was truly a successful event. I just want to thank you again so much for running such an amazing program; when it comes down to it you really have been responsible for making everything go the way it has and for that I thank you greatly. I look forward to what we can achieve together over the next few years, for I know we will accomplish even bigger and greater things in the future. I look forward to seeing you when I get out of school.
Take care,
Robby Cohen

Dear Rabbi Chaim,
Thank you for organizing Shabbat 300 for the teens of Bergen County. By doing so you have ensured that hundreds of teenagers who otherwise would have passed another Shabbat outside of their heritage and traditional spirituality connected with the living, vital, spirit of Shabbat. What I saw on Friday night, January 20th was hundreds of teens reveling in the customs and duties of the Jewish people, some for the first time in their lives, some reliving the first time they had done so at Shabbat 100 last year. Through ecstasies of song, enduring brachas, and fascinating speakers in the forms of Rabbis Friedman and Goldstein, and the atmosphere of supreme welcoming and acceptance that permeates all activities of the shul, I know that every person at Shabbat 300 connected with his or her Yiddishkeit on the most essential level.
