Happy 1st Birthday To Our Blog!

Candyland Birthday Cake

Happy Birthday to our blog! Today is our first birthday - a year ago this blog was born thanks to Chaya Sara Rabinowitz. She is the one who gave me the idea to help her get it started and she is the one who continues to give so much inspiration to every person she meets and to the world!

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our readers out there. It is because of you that this blog has continued going because without each of you, there would be no reason for either me or Chaya Sara to keep posting inspirational things for you to read. It is the questions you ask that are the springboard for more posts, more inspiration, more growth and more knowledge. Each person who comes to read this blog is truly valued and appreciated for giving us a reason to continue writing.

I want to give each of you a bracha that your thirst for inspiration should never end. Hashem should bentch you with clarity to know, understand and appreciate the greatness of being a Jew. He should help you find the answers to all your questions in a way that satisfies you and makes you love and enjoy being a frum Jew.

You should live a healthy, long and productive life and find ways to improve your relationship with Hashem every day. You should be able to be a walking example to all those who see you of what it means to be a Jew.

And most of all, may you find true happiness and always remember that Yiddishkeit is so beautiful and you are so lucky to be part of such a special nation!

Looking forward to many more years of inspiration and growth b'ezras Hashem!

    May your nishamote grow to the fullist kiddush here-in olam hazeh, and to the FULLIST IT POSSIBLY CAN, in olam habah!
    may your tifilote(4whatever ur asking 4) be answerd right away, b/e Hashem will see the hard, hard effort that you two put, and say ah, so much you care for your blog, and making other people grow, to con. more to me-in the zichut of your brother; then you too should have your tefilot answerd and everything that was given to your brother-should be to you as well!
