We began working together on establishing the Chabad Chasidic Entrepreneurs Program of Crown Heights. Chabad means wisdom, understanding, knowledge. Chasidic means pious, kind. So, a person of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge is also pious and kind — this concept really resonated with me because of my great admiration for educators.
