Shabbos Logos by Yoel




My friend Yoel from the deepest bowels of of the most chasidish of neighborhoods is so idealistic it puts me to shame and in his enthusiasm of Shabbos, he recently created the above Shabbos logos. Hope you enjoy!

Personal Request by Dixie Yid

 
As I posted last year, I am selling raffle tickets to raise money for our son's cheder, Siach Yitzchak. It is an amazing school. This raffle is one of the major sources of revenue for the school and the funds go straight to operating the school and paying the rebbeim and moros. The chances of winning are very good (relatively speaking) because a maximum of 2,800 tickets will be sold. The prize for the winner is your choice of (i) a new car; (ii) a trip to Israel for 10; (iii) a brand new sefer Torah; or (iv) $20,000. Click here to enter.

We are extremely grateful to the school. From the time we visited when our son was three, we were so impressed with how engaged the kids were with what they were learning. Even now, in second grade, all of his rebbeim have been so great. By example, they imbue such an enthusiasm for Torah, davening, and mitzvos into the boys. It really works and it's not just something they write in a brochure. B"H, we're very fortunate to have found this school.

We bought five tickets for $360 but it's $100 for one ticket. Thank you to everyone who bought raffle tickets last year and please buy at least one ticket at the raffle website and put "Dixie Yid" (or my real name if you know it) in the "Referred by" field. Alternatively, you can make a donation in another amount.

Thank you and please buy a ticket!
