Vaad Meginim Umerchivei Hachinuch Haksher is an organization dedicated to advancing and safeguarding kosher Jewish education, operating under the direction of the Merkaz L'Inyanei Chinuch (Central Organization for Educational Affairs). The committee was established by the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, and its mission focuses on expanding the reach and quality of Torah-true education for Jewish children.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, addressed the eleventh annual assembly of the Vaad Meginim Umerchivei Hachinuch Haksher with a heartfelt letter of blessing and encouragement. The Rebbe praised the committee's consistent growth in both the number of counselors and the Jewish children positively influenced by their work, as well as the increasing quality of their educational efforts. He expressed his hope that the committee would continue to rise in holiness and effectiveness, in accordance with the vision of its founder and the pressing needs of the time.
The Rebbe drew a powerful lesson from the timing of the assembly, which coincided with the eve of Purim. He referenced the actions of Mordechai, who gathered thousands of children to study Torah and pray during a time of crisis, emphasizing the transformative power of Jewish education and the self-sacrifice it inspires. The Rebbe urged all involved not to consider themselves exempt from the vital task of educating the young, regardless of their personal status or responsibilities. He stressed the importance of dedicating time and energy to instill fear of Heaven and devotion to holiness in the next generation, assuring that such efforts are essential for the security and continuity of the Jewish people.
The tone of the Rebbe's letter is both warm and exhortative, blending blessings for success with a call to ever-greater dedication. He concludes with prayers for the committee's continued growth and the fulfillment of Divine attributes—redemption, blessing, and praise—in abundance.
