Chabad Sichos In Gd We Trust

The Rebbe said:

Similarly, in our global village, to truly champion the principles of freedom and justice, America must itself serve as the paradigm of these principles. Thus, the education provided to our youth must instill in them the basic principles of our heritage. This is vital, not only on the domestic front, but in our foreign relations.

For almost two decades, every year, Congress has passed (and the President signed) a bill declaring one day "Education Day," a day to be used to mark the importance of the Seven Universal Laws granted to Noah and his descendants. This bill is enacted by legislators every year, regardless of their party affiliation.

Its repercussions are being felt everywhere. Other countries are following America's lead, and setting aside a day to recognize the importance of education and the observance of the Noahide Laws.

Yet, it is on the personal level that these laws are most powerful. For it is within our lives that the influence creates real change.

Every element in the universe has been scientifically proven to be interconnected. The movement of a butterfly on one continent can begin a chain reaction leading to major climatic changes on another. If this is true scientifically, it is certainly true sociologically.

When a person gets a handle on his life and increases the justice, truth, and virtue in his own conduct, his actions send ripples through the community, and his example is emulated. For good breeds good, and people respond to positive change. This leads to more all-encompassing effects, as one candle kindles another and the growing light illuminates ever-larger spheres.
