Education Day, U.S.A.

As representative of the Lubavitch Movement, I was honored to receive a letter from the President of the United States, together with a Declaration to all US citizens, proclaiming the 11th of Nissan as “Education Day.”

Education is the bedrock for all civilized life. But proper education begins with the simple, yet absolutely vital question: Why was I created? And the answer is: “I was created to serve my Creator” – to be an emissary of G-d, “Whose way is peace” and “Whose name is Peace” – to promote peace and unity throughout the world.

This is a day for all people to reflect on their G-dly mission and purpose, and to reaffirm their commitment to the principles which are singled out and emphasized in this Declaration – the Seven Noahide Laws for all mankind.
