Why Our Readers Love Middos Challenges....

Thank you for your tremendous work! These emails are impressive, inspiring and full of content! I am so appreciative to have these beautiful words come to my inbox every week.

I love Middos Challenges. We read it and discuss it at our Shabbos table – it’s beautiful. We don’t need to get points for it to have a wonderful impact on our family! Thank you!

I just finished school and started working, and the emails are a great way to add more ruchniyus into my week. I especially appreciate the weekly challenges and the examples given – I find they are very practical and relevant to daily life. Thanks again!

I want to wish you a tremendous Yasher Koach! This project is exceptional. The content is superb and it makes Yiddishkeit alive and easy to access…

Before Rosh Hashana, I asked that one of my classes in Seminary sign up for this email. This week, I was teaching about a certain topic, and a girl noted that this was mentioned in the Middos emails! I was so impressed that she not only read it, but integrated it! Yasher Koach for all of your great work.

I really can't tell you how much I gain from your middos emails! I excitedly await for each new middah and I really put the lessons and ideas to heart. Yasher koach. May you continue to have hatzlacha in reaching so many people, and inspiring them to grow. This email group is amazing.
