A Chabad rabbi shares his thoughts on Creationism. The Torah says that the world was created in six days, about 6,000 years ago.

But you would be mistaken. As Jews worldwide celebrate the festival of freedom this year, some of Europe’s most progressive, secular countries are challenging the fundamentals of Jewish faith and practice.
