The Rebbe addresses members of the N’shei Chabad women’s movement in the lead up to Shavuos.

The success of our people’s mission rests on the Jewish woman. She engages her husband and children in what they learn and accomplish each day, thereby preparing them for a future of Torah.

Before they entered the Land of Israel, Moses instructed the Jewish People regarding Shemitah, the Sabbatical Year. He did not preface with instructions regarding the six years of work, because the purpose of having Israel was not to work the land, but to reach the blessings of the seventh year, when the Jews could devote themselves to educating their children in Torah.
