Dear Irene,

The history of our people is the history of community and this site is no different. If each DoubleChai.com member were to bring 3 new members to the site and those new members were to bring 3 new members and so on, this site would soon serve every Jewish widow & widower. Just imagine our strength in numbers and our diversity of experience and how each of us could reach out to one another.

Please take a moment to follow the link below and invite the people you know (even if it is only one other person) who would find the DoubleChai.com community beneficial and inspiring to join the site. Perhaps you could mention the site in your next newsletter as well.

I thank you in advance for your participation. Our future as a site and the services we hope to offer depends a great deal on our members reaching out to their real world contacts about DoubleChai.com.

Gratefully,
Harry
