Dear Fellow Jew,

Beard, some beard, no beard. Any color, any shape, and size. I love you because you are my fellow Jew.

The news about the inspiring Shabbos Hakhel held in Crown Heights this past Shabbos hit the Chabad websites in a matter of hours after Shabbos. The standard negative reactions were soon to follow. I can guarantee that all the people who did not have good things to say, could not have attended the event. It was purely inspiring, and I had tears in my eyes more than once. The organizers, speakers and participants made this an event to be remembered, and one that will bring about positive change in people and in the community as a whole.

One of the main themes of the event was Achdus and Ahavas Yisrael.
