Torah Judaism stresses education as the essential tool for gaining the ability to take responsibility for the world. You can't represent the Jewish people unless you know what the Jewish people represent.
Ignorance is our biggest enemy.
Ignorance causes not only assimilation, but an inability to fulfill the Jewish mission individually and nationally. The Torah provides this education. Learning Torah will help put you on that path. The root cause of the world's problems is a lack of values. Be a light by living for the values you stand for.
