There are four sons. Which one do you want to be?
Nissan 13, 1943
PESACH MESSAGE
My dear Young Friends:
You are surely well acquainted with the Haggadah by now. No doubt you know about the "Four Sons" — the wise, the wicked, the simple and the one unable to ask a question.
Which one do you want to be? Of course the "wise son," or wise daughter.
But one should be a wise child not merely on the Seder-night, but always.
Do you know how to be and act like a wise Jewish child? It's entirely up to you!
LEARN OUR HOLY TORAH!
ENQUIRE ABOUT THE MITZVOTH GIVEN TO OUR PEOPLE ISRAEL AND DO THEM!
ENQUIRE ABOUT THE CUSTOMS OF OUR PEOPLE AND OBSERVE THEM!
SEE THAT YOUR JEWISH FRIENDS DO THE SAME!
If you do that you will certainly be a wise child, and you will make your dear parents happy and proud of you [and you will go from strength to strength on this happy path].
With best wishes for a kosher and happy Pesach.
MERKOS L’INYONEI CHINUCH
Rabbi Mendel Schneerson
