The Education Department
Education is primarily concerned with transmitting eternal values and knowledge to successive young generations, linking it to the sefirah of Eternity (
, netzah). Netzah symbolizes victory over death and the power to perpetuate life. The purpose of education is to foster the sense of assurance and identity that are necessary for the child’s success in overcoming the obstacles on the journey of life. Through education we acquire the intellectual and spiritual strength to grapple with the complexities of life.
