The Chai Tea Vol. 4

Shavua Tov everyone!

Thank you for your patience and support all week, and if you’re new around here…welcome!

Each week I’ll be spilling 18 ways to support our tribe—-some will be businesses, some will be causes, some will be some favorite follows. All will be Jewish and ALL will be deserving of your support. My call to action here is VERY SIMPLE : FOLLOW THEM, SHARE THEM, or BUY FROM THEM.

We’re BETTER TOGETHER and when we join forces to support one another, the sky is the limit. Truly.

If you’re a premium subscriber, you’ll have access to the archives and previous editions on our website too, as well as a whole other host of perks.

Many of you have asked how you can help lift up The Chai Tea. In addition to supporting the businesses and causes within, my own ask is simple: Share The Chai Tea with others and encourage them to subscribe. And if you want to drink more, become a premium subscriber for access to exclusive discounts, content and perks.

I’ve decided to extend the Founding Subscriber discount through the end of the month—-especially as we didn’t publish last week. So until the end of the the month it’s 18% off when you become a premium subscriber. Similarly, I’ve also extended our support to Friends of the IDF as our spotlight organization, especially as we started well into August and missed the last week. (Don’t forget, that 18% of your subscription will go to Friends of the IDF this month as well.) THANK YOU to everyone so far who has supported this effort. I honestly couldn’t do it without you.

So, if you like what you see here, share this newsletter with your friends, and encourage them to subscribe too! We’re better together…and the larger our community around here, the bigger the difference we can make for one another.

If you have a business we should meet, please give them this form to fill out. Questions or comments—-feel free to hit reply and let me know. It’s my goal to continue to highlight Jewish-owned businesses and I would love for you to share your favorites with me too!

And if you’re in the Detroit Metro area, there’s still time to join me on MONDAY NIGHT at Temple Israel for a night of discussion: It’s Never Wrong to Do What’s Right. More info can be found here.

Are you ready to put some good back into this world?

The tea’s been brewing all week…and now I’m ready to spill.

See you next week.

Same time, same place.

xx,

Lindsay Pinchuk, Founder of The Chai Tea

NOTE: Every brand mentioned below was selected by me. I was not paid to mention any of the brands listed here. These are simply some of my favorite Jewish-owned businesses.

In no particular order….I’m spilling 18 ways you can support our tribe this week:

AN IMMEDIATE CALL TO ACTION:

Help Eden Yerushalmi’s Family: Following the absolute devastation that unfolded last week with the five Israeli and one Israeli-American hostage, Ofir Caspi, a friend of Eden Yerushalami’s family has started a GoFund Me to help Eden’s mom and sister’s restart. The family has asked for nothing, this is simply an act of good measure to let them know that we love them and that they will always have our back. DONATE AND SHARE

2. Help Omer Neutra’s Family: Omer Neutra is an American who is currently being held by Hamas in Gaza.
