Subject: Customer Inquiry: Problem with Haws Watering Can


Last month, I bought what I believe is item #XB910, a Haws plastic watering can (holds approx 5 litres), from your Steeles Ave W store in Toronto.
I don't have much money for gardening, but figured with a new rain barrel, I needed a wonderful watering tool to get me excited about watering the garden.

I have been loving using it - up until today when I found it out back tipped over with the rose broken. The metal "face" seems to have come off, as you can see in the attached photos, and I can't figure out any way to reinsert it into the plastic rose (without hurting myself or bending the face).

Nothing else was damaged on the patio; I'm assuming an animal or the wind knocked it over the wrong way and the face just somehow fell out of the rose.

In any event, the watering can is just about useless now (I've never used the included "teapot" spout). I'm wondering how I'd go about obtaining a replacement rose, and deeply disappointed in what I'd hoped would be a high-quality watering can (backed by Haws' great reputation!) that would last for years (not just weeks).

I anxiously (and hopefully) await your reply.

Yours truly,

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
