THE MOTTO “IN GOD WE TRUST” HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE, NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE IN THESE TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBT, OUR PRESERVATION OF THE CONCEPT OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM THROUGH OUR CONSTITUTION, AND LAWS AND CUSTOMS. IT STANDS AS A BEACON OF LIGHT AND HOPE FOR THE PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD; AND
IN THIS LAND OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND TOLERANCE, BRIS AVROHOM, AN ORGANIZATION FOUNDED BY THE LUBAVITCHER REBBE, FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS HAS BEEN IN THE FOREFRONT OF INTEGRATING IMMIGRANTS INTO THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE AS WELL AS THE RELIGIOUS, HUMANITARIAN AND EDUCATIONAL DOCTRINES OF THE JEWISH FAITH; AND
IT IS NOW THE SEASON OF THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS, KNOWN AS CHANUKAH, A WORD WHICH ENVELOPES THE WORD EDUCATION IN ITS HEBREW FORM; AND
BRIS AVROHOM WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN PLACING OVER 100 MENORAHS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, INCLUDING CITY HALLS, NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY CROSSINGS, AIRPORTS, SHOPPING MALLS AND BUSINESSES, WHERE OVER 18 MILLION INDIVIDUALS HAD THE ABILITY TO WATCH AND BENEFIT FROM THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS; AND
THIS YEAR MARKS THE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF THE LUBAVITCH REBBE, RABBI MENACHEM M. SCHNEERSON, OF BLESSED MEMORY, THE VISIONARY FORCE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MASSIVE EDUCATIONAL AND HUMANITARIAN PROGRAMS CONDUCTED BY BRIS AVROHOM THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY.
