We just spent 25 hours in shul on Yom Kippur praying for a year of life and goodness. The Chida tells us that one annuls 100 of his own prayers for each chilul Hashem he causes. Perhaps on the way to shul this Sukkos, as we extend holiday greetings to our fellow Jews, we should extend our good wishes to our non-Jewish neighbors as well. As we shop for the holiday and take Chol Hamoed outings, let us try and perform acts that will cause others to “Bless the G-d of the Jews.”  Create a kiddush Hashem by extending kindness and modeling a fine, honest character, generating respect for the holy Torah amongst the nations of the world.
