Messages from our visitors

Below are a few of the things you have recently told us (Letters have not been modified except for the removal of personal information). We love hearing from you, so feel free to drop us a note!

• I just wanted to say that I think it's an amazing thing that you've done. I know I don't even begin to see all the work you put into this organization for Jewish simchos. I think it's especially great because of all the sad, unfortunate, yet very real circumstances we face in Eretz Yisroel and even here in America. This is uplifting, and for me very exciting thing to see on the Internet instead of all the bad news we usually see.

  It happens to be that a lot of Jewish people (woman most of the time probably) like to know exactly what's going on with who, when, and where.... at that second exactly. This gives us (see, I included myself) a very easy time. With Hashem's help may you be almost too busy to deal w/ it.

  Simchos!

• Dear OnlySimchas Staff,

  What can I say other than Kol HaKavod! As an American Olla, I enjoy periodically browsing through the lists of names, some friends from college and even more chanichim and chanicot who are getting engaged and married. Times here in Israel are difficult and tense - and your real support by raising money for Mada will be both a significant and uplifiting contribution - I cant believe how much you have already raised. I took the Mada course and I know how much each of those defibrilators and all of the other equipment are needed to save lives.

  May the zechut of this mitzvah bring many smachot to all those who participate in it! With love from Yerushalayim.

• To the Wonderful Folks at Only Simchas,

  Thank you so much for posting the information about OPERATION SUITCASE. Thanks to you, we had Yeshivah students contacting us from all over the East Coast and Canada. To date we have shipped over $6,000 of crafts, toys, new clothing and electronics which ONE FAMILY will distribute to children who have been victims of terror.....

  Thank you so much for your help with OPPERATION SUITCASE and may you continue to enhance simcha for Klal Yisrael!

• Hello, How are you? I just wanted to thank you for creating this website. It is such a happy and beautiful website. What a tremendous mitzvah! Especially in times like this, we need simchos so badly! Thank you so much.

  Tizku l'mitzvos. HaShem should bless you and the entire onlysimchas family, along with Klal Yisroel, with only mazal, bracha, hatzlacha, yeshuah and the geulah.

• Shalom Webmaster,

  On behalf of myself and my family, I just wanted to wish you and the whole staff at onlysimchas.com a big YISHAR KOACH for all the work you guys do!!

  The concept of sharing simchas with family and friends across the ocean, made possible by your website, is amazing and so much fun. These days the website has the additional advantage of encouraging us here in Israel, in these scary and difficult times- showing us that life goes on and b"H, more babies are being born, people are getting engaged and married and that..... AM YISRAEL CHAI! I personally check the updates of simchas after checking the news on the various websites and it always manages to uplift my spirits. Also, the idea of the "community issues" page is great! I just saw the notice about the rally on Sunday and it gives us great 'chizuk' to know that the Jewish community is thinking about the 'matzav' here and are helping in any way they can.

  So, keep up the great work ! [and pass that on to anyone else involved wih onlysimchas]

  L'Shana Ha'Ba'ah B'Yerushalaim Ha'Shleima!!

• Kol HaKavod to all of you. I am very proud of you for utilizing your enterprise to bring life and Simcha to our brethren in Israel. Alu VeHatzlichu.

• This is very worthy what you are doing and I will send them a direct contribution. I also would like to bring to your attention that another need is just as pressing if not more because the communities do not receive any help from the government. I am referring to the communities of Eifrat, and Yesha who also need bullet proof ambulances and first aid medics. It would be wonderful if you could send the same appeal you are doing for Magen David Adom to the Yesha, Hebron, and Eifrat communities. They have been targeted very heavily.

• This is very special what ur doing. Kol Hakavod, baruch hashem it seems we are all finally waking up.

• Thanks for your letter. It's nice to see you are trying to do something positive in these difficult times for israel.

• That's a great idea but how about taking it further?If every couple celebrating a simcha would donate the price of one guest / one flower arrangement etc. to this project or any other chesed in Israel you could help out Israel even more. Best Wishes, From an Israeli onlysimchas. Fan.

• From Jerusalem Israel - thank you to those who give meaning to the term "the Jewish People" Thank you, from Jerusalem!!!

• hi. my name is [private] and i live in Israel. i was so happy and surprised to c this e mail u have sent me. things here r hard-as u know and as u said ..and i find it very nice, that u r raising money for mda! it is very very important and we see it all the time-almost every day:( so i want to thank u, am Israel is a 1 group and we should not be here by our self.. thank u

• I applaud your effort! We have already contributed for an ambulance to be sent from Denver, Colorado. Good luck!

• Congratulations of the Magen David Adom charity drive, I think it's a great idea.

• Dear OnlySimchas,

  I am impressed with the timely, complete and totally satisfactory response to my inquiry! You people are just great and we have enjoyed accessing news on your website.

  I am sure you understand why I questioned your heartfelt appeal. Hope it sends bushels of cash and supplies until they say "Dayenu".

  Yesher Koach. You are doing a great job. May G-d bless you and yours.
