Education is the cure for ignorance. Members of an educated society are less likely to believe in myths, woo, and pseudoscience.

A religion is a systematic set of beliefs, rituals and codifications of behaviour that revolves around a particular group's worldview (views about the world at large and humanity's place in the world). Typically, these beliefs center around some aspect of the supernatural (also often referred to as "divine") which is most often expressed as some form of deity, ie., gods and goddesses.

To the extent that the system of beliefs and rules are codified, they are called dogma; religions vary in how much dogma they include and how strictly they define it and enforce it. Religious mythology are the stories that develop, largely from oral tradition, to explain and describe the worldview of the religion. Religious beliefs tend to arise from humanity's attempts to explain their world, and where possible, to control it

World-renowned teacher Rabbi YY Jacobson relates one of the most intriguing stories in Chabad history: Why did the Rebbe Rashab go to visit renowned Dr. Sigmund Freud.
Welcome to Monday Torah, a weekly online class with Rabbi YY Jacobson, a world renowned lecturer and spiritual leader of Congregation Bais Shmuel Chabad in Brooklyn.

Rutstein was a principal founder of Yeshiva Chaim Berlin and was critical in establishing Chaim Berlin Yeshiva in the United States. An article in the Brooklyn Eagle, on March 16, 1942, describes one of the many donations he acquired for the institution, stating that "$2,000 was raised in outside gifts by Jacob Rutstein who recently returned from Florida." On December 11, 1944, another article appears in the Brooklyn Eagle which it states that, "Yesivah Rabbi Chaim Berlin, one of the largest Orthodox Jewish institutions of learning in the country, is dedicating its new seven-story building at Stone and Pitkin Ave. at ceremonies which will take place throughout the week. The opening ceremonies were attended by more than 3000 persons. Jacob Rutstein, chairman of the dedication committee, announced that $25,000 had been donated by those present towards the new $1,000,000 building."
On December 29, 1944, another article appeared stating the following about Rutstein:
"Our congratulations to Jacob Rutstein for his constant activity on organizing activities for the advancement of orthodox Jewish secular and religious education. Outstanding in his philanthropic activities is his recent purchase of the seven-story $1,000,000 building at 350 Stone Ave. for the Mesivtah and Yeshivah Rabbi Chaim Berlin in the hearts of Brownsville. Already the institution has been recognized by the State Board of Regents through the granting of a charter and 800 students are now enrolled. Of this number 150 are studying for the rabbinate. Also 200 of its students have come from all parts of this country and 62 are refugees driven from their homelands by Hitler. This has been a truly humanitarian endeavor on the part of Mr. Rutstein."
