Shana Tova/Happy New Year

Just as soon as we crossed 2,000 viewers we began approaching 3,000. Biggest amount of viewers in a single week.

I will not be posting for a while due to the holidays. But there is still a lot going on with TGR. We are in the beginning stages of launching our new website. We have officially bought the rights to thegreatrabbino.com and you can email us at info@thegreatrabbino.com. We hope the site will have many new features including Tshirts for sale, new ads, email, etc.

Thanks to our first correspondent Lauren Abraham for our new promos.
