Rebbe Nachman of Breslev cried and screamed against secular education. He warned us that it would bring calamity on our people. Non-Jewish ideas lead to non-Jewish wives, and non-Jewish wives bear non-Jewish children. Hitler killed bodies, but assimilation and intermarriage kill Jewish souls; the latter is a much greater tragedy. The soul of a martyr can return in a different body, but the souls lost to assimilation die an eternal death; nothing could be more tragic.

The Melitzer Rebbe shlit'a told me this morning that the only way to stop assimilation is to develop a zealous desire for kedusha and to uncompromisingly observe the ways of our forefathers. There's no other way for a Jew to remain alive.
