The Lubavitcher Rebbe on Our #1 Mitzvah
“Rearing children is inevitably associated with tireless dedication, for which no shortcuts can be found…
“But to have children, to “be fruitful and multiply,” is the first of the 613 commandments recorded in the Torah. It was written first– explained Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak, the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe–to teach us that having children is the most important thing of all, the Torah’s first priority.”
