A gentle reminder:Please think of those who may be by themselves (e.g., singles, couples w/o children, widows, divorcees, etc) and invite them for a Shabbos or Yom Tov meal. Shavous is a 3 day Yom Tov this year and it is depressing for those who are not invited out at all for the entire 3 days. It may seem that certain people may want to socialize, but ask. person(s) can always turn invitation down, but would be happy to be though of. A good friend of mine says," the frum community is always running to help others in different neighborhoods and countries(which is great), but they should look in their own backyards and help the people who are so close to them." One may say, that the people who want to be invited should invite others over to their homes to make Shabbos and Yom Tov special. However, some often may not be able to due to space, finances, medical reasons,etc.

I am happy to read that several people from this wonderful website have invited someone who maybe alone.Let's keep it going!
tizku mitzvos!
