A Moment to Save the World – Part 1

Civilized society depends on proper education built on a healthy foundation. But the only true foundation for education is the same as that of all of creation: “In the beginning, G-d created the Heavens and the Earth.”
Moment of Silence, Lubavitcher Rebbe
A Moment to Save the World – Part 1
Disc 28, Program 111

Event Date: 10 Shevat 5743 - January 24, 1983
