Dan and JJ: It's really beautiful what you are doing with the Tefillin campaign. Just one point - I didn't notice anywhere on the post that it's specifically for males. Being that it's directed to a demographic that may not know that, you may want to note somewhere that the mitzva is male-specific, and that the Tefillin is being given to "men committing to put them on".
I'm assuming the Chabad Rabbi who receives the requests will vet them, and it is better this way, as the Rabbi can suggest to them alternative methods of helping out once they take the step of reaching out to him.

Yes, 100%, vetting process set up via a posek is in place.

If anyone has time to help vet the people, please DM.

Shliach is overwhelmed with it right now.

Basically, calling references.

Being that it's the same as the last deal for $349 (albeit a different asin) it seems a bit misleading to post this as the lowest price ever, when the last time it was tagged as the "Lowest Price In 4 Years".

Is there any way to see which items in an order triggered a discount?

In a hurry this morning, I placed an order for 19 kids books on the $5 off promo, and only now sat down and looked at my order, and it looks like only 11 of 19 books got the $5 off.

I guess I could wait until they ship and then go to the return page to figure it out, but if there's a way to see it now I'd prefer to cancel some before they ship.

https://www.dansdeals.com/shopping-deals/books/artscroll-40-off-sale-chanukah-saele-now-live-save-big-kitzur-shulchan-aruch-milstein-edition-chumash-laws-shabbos-sets/

Last time DDMS posted the Artscroll sales, I bought the complete set of Ryzman edition Hebrew Mishnayos. IMO, it is the greatest set of Mishnayos ever made. It is NOT a translation of the English one, rather a much more comprehensive, yet very understandable pirush on Mishnayos. I've been learning Mishnayos with my son, and it gives me a great overview of the lumdus behind each Mishnah.

Highly recommend for someone looking for a Hebrew Mishnayos with a great pirush.

https://www.dansdeals.com/advertisement/today-believe-sinai-academy-receive-free-25-100-amazon-gift-card/

If you look in the auction booklet it says on the bottom of page 6:

NO PURCHASE OR DONATION NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.  A PURCHASE OR DONATION WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. The Mega Sweepstakes 5784 (“Sweepstakes”) is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, Canada (excluding Quebec),
UK and other countries only where offered and permitted by law who have reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which they reside at time of entry. Sweepstakes begins at 9:00 AM Eastern Time (“ET”) on November 6, 2023 and ends at 11:59 PM ET on February 28, 2024. To enter and view complete
Official Rules which govern the Sweepstakes, including how to enter without making a donation, visit www.nershlomo.org . Void in the Province of Quebec &amp; where prohibited by law. U.S. law governs. Promoter: Yeshiva Ner Shlomo, 137 Cedarhurst Ave, Cedarhurst, NY 11516 U.S.A.

What connection does Nershlomo have with Sinai Academy?

If you go to www.nershlomo.org the only information I can find about a sweepstakes is a sweepstakes run by Nershlomo in 2022.

Also the Sinai Academy drawing is on January 13th so why does it say it end on February 28th?

No, usually it just changes price or isn't avalaible for free shipping anymore (oh wait, that's an IL problem).
I'm content with the tradeoff, because what I do find for free shipping I get for cheaper than you. (No sales tax!)
