This is among the most important and relevant commandments in the Torah: “Do not forget…. Make them [the events you saw] known to your children and to your children’s children.”
If there is one overriding reason Jews have survived for more than three thousand years—the great majority of those years spent exiled from their national homeland—it is that they preserved their national memories.
