Thank you letter
from Rabbi in Beijing

Dear Frank, February 19, 2020

Words cannot describe your incredible kindness. I want you to know that you have not only supplied the Jewish communities of
China, as well as the Chinese people with these more than necessary masks, you have uplifted us all as well.
There have been a few Jewish communities abroad which we contacted and who responded warmly, for which we are very
grateful, but you and by extension the Chesed found stand head and shoulders above, by your selfless, immediate, generous
and quick response.
The masks you sent were distributed amongst the following groups of people:
1. Members from all seven Jewish communities of China.
2. Israeli embassy personal in Beijing.
3. Members of the religious affairs office in Beijing, who helps us out tremendously.
4. The park staff which are adjacent to the Chabad House of Beijing.
5. Families and staff members (Jewish and Chinese) of our Jewish day school.
Frank, the masks you sent went quicker than hot cakes. I received so many emotional voice notes and messages thanking
us for the masks and asking us to thank you from the bottom of their heart.
Rabbi Shimon Freundlich
Beijing, China
