The Chai Tea Vol. 11

Shavua Tov everyone!

There are A LOT of new faces around here this week, so while I’m going to share 18 ways to support our tribe, I’m going to make it a double chai kind of week, bringing back 18 favorites from the past few months for the newbies!

As I shared on Instagram over the weekend, there are MANY ways that you can speak up and speak out for the Jewish community, one of which is supporting Jewish-owned businesses and organizations that benefit the Jewish community. Check out the post I made, here, and make sure you share it with others—-especially your non-Jewish friends. The reason I created this post was because some of mine were asking how they could help and support given the horrific events of the past week.

Just a quick reminder as you read through this week’s issue. My ask of you when it comes to what I share here is VERY SIMPLE:

FOLLOW THEM, SHARE THEM WITH YOUR FRIENDS + COMMUNITY, or BUY FROM THEM.

Show them the love.

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

If you have a business we should meet, please pass 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!

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

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

See you next week.

Same time, same place.

XX,

Lindsay Pinchuk, Founder of The Chai Tea

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

5. I want to give a shoutout to the Chicago Jewish Alliance. On Friday night they confronted hate and bigotry head on outside of the Michael Rappaport show here in Chicago. The words hurled at them were infuriating, but they stood tall.

Please FOLLOW THEM and show them some love for their bravery this weekend and each and every day.
