5. FAMOUS QUOTES FROM
OUR SAGES …
The One who Knows “Aleph” can “Teach Aleph” — The Rebbe
Education and Sharing Day is a day made by the United
States Congress in honor of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi
Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994).
It honors his efforts for education and sharing for Jews and
non-Jews alike. During his lifetime the Rabbi opened scores
of centers of education called "Chabad Houses".
The day was inaugurated April 18, 1978, by President Jimmy
Carter and has since been proclaimed, by the presiding
President, annually on the Jewish birthday of Menachem
Mendel Schneerson (11 Nissan), which generally falls out in
April.[1]

6. INSPIRATION FOR OUR
PROGRAM …
President Ronald Reagan wrote in his proclamation of 1982:
One shining example for people of all faiths of what education ought to be is that provided by the Lubavitch movement, headed
by Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, a worldwide spiritual leader who will celebrate his 80th birthday on April 4, 1982. The
Lubavitcher Rebbe's work stands as a reminder that knowledge is an unworthy goal unless it is accompanied by moral and
spiritual wisdom and understanding. He has provided a vivid example of the eternal validity of the Seven Noahide Laws, a moral
code for all of us regardless of religious faith. May he go from strength to strength.
In recognition of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's 80th birthday, the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States in
Congress assembled have issued House Joint Resolution 447 to set aside April 4, 1982, as a "National Day of Reflection.”
President George H. W. Bush wrote in his proclamation of 1989:
It is fitting that we honor Rabbi Schneerson and acknowledge his important contributions to society. Our great Nation takes just
pride in its dedication to the principles of justice, equality, and truth. Americans also understand that we have a responsibility to
inspire the same dedication in future generations. We owe a tremendous debt to Rabbi Schneerson and to all those who promote
education that embraces moral and ethical values and emphasizes their importance.
In recognition of Rabbi Schneerson's vital efforts, and in celebration of his 87th birthday, the Congress, by House Joint
Resolution 173, has designated April 16, 1989, and April 6, 1990, as "Education Day, U.S.A.
President Bill Clinton wrote in his proclamation of 1995:
"Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, well understood the importance of nurturing the heart along with
the mind. Throughout his long and rich life, he believed that the education of our young people would only be successful if it
sought to build character as well as intellect, if it taught the lessons of honesty, tolerance, and good citizenship, as well as
language, math, and science.
This year, let us rededicate ourselves to teaching the love of learning that was championed by Rabbi Schneerson and is
strengthened by caring leaders like him throughout our Nation. As we provide our students with the information and practical
tools they need, let us also pass on to them the capacity for understanding that can help to give fuller meaning to their lives."

7. INSPIRATION FOR
PROGRAM …
President George W. Bush wrote in his proclamation on Education and Sharing Day 2007:
"Education and Sharing Day honors the legacy of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson and emphasizes our
commitment to teach the next generation of Americans the values that make our country strong. The
Lubavitcher Rabbi believed that society should 'make a new commitment to kindness,' and he helped to
establish education and outreach centers offering social service programs and humanitarian aid around the
world."
President Barack Obama wrote in his proclamation on Education & Sharing Day 2009:
"Few have better understood or more successfully promoted these ideas than Rabbi Menachem Mendel
Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who emphasized the importance of education and good character.
Through the establishment of educational and social service institutions across the country and the world,
Rabbi Schneerson sought to empower young people and inspire individuals of all ages. On this day, we raise
his call anew."[2]
The 1991 bill described the Noahide Laws as the "ethical values and principles which are the basis of civilized
society and upon which our great Nation was founded".[3]
President George W. Bush called upon "government officials, educators, volunteers, and all the people of the
United States to reach out to young people and work to create a better, brighter, and more hopeful future for
all."

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION

9. The Heart of Education …
“I think we need to understand what the
purpose of education is … are we just
trying to produce people that can just
read, and write, and do arithmetic? Or
are we trying to create good citizens for
our Republic? Thats the heart of it.” —

10. Leaders and Trendsetters agree MORE students
should LEARN TO CODE
Steve Jobs
“I think everybody in this country should learn how
to program a computer because it teaches you
how to think.”
President Bill Clinton
“Every single year in America there is a standing
demand for 120,000 people who are training in
computer science.
Stephen Hawking
“Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the
universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the
21st century, basic computer programming is an
essential skill to learn.“
Bill Gates “Learning to write programs stretches your mind,
and helps you think better, creates a way of
thinking about things that I think is helpful in all
domains.”
Senator Marco Rubio
“Computer programmers are in great demand by
American businesses, but there are not enough
graduates to fill these opportunities.“
Sheryl Sandberg
“An understanding of computer science is becoming
increasingly essential in todayʼs world. Our national
competitiveness depends upon our ability to
educate our children in this critical field.“
Dr. John Hennessy
“Learning to program is exciting: it's stimulating, fun,
develops new ways of thinking, and in a very short
time you can build programs that will impress your
friends and family!
Dr. Larry Corey
“Computers are an increasingly essential part of
understanding cancer and developing new
therapies. Knowledge of computer programming is
almost as important as knowledge of anatomy
when it comes to medical research or clinical care. “
Dr. Lee Hood
“Computer scientists have become essential as
part of cross-disciplinary teams of researchers who
tackle some of the most challenging issues in
science today.”

23. Raspberry Pi

24. • The Raspberry Pi is a SINGLE-BOARD computer, made in
LONDON with the intention of STIMULATING and
TEACHING the BASICS of Computer Science.
• The Raspberry Pi is a CREDIT-CARD Sized COMPUTER
that can PLUG INTO any TV or MONITOR and
KEYBOARD.
• It is CAPABLE of doing EVERYTHING a PC can do!
• It has a HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO and AUDIO!
• ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHZ Processor, VideoCore IV GPU,
256 Megabytes of RAM, 2 USB Ports, 10/100 ETHERNET
Controller.
• How COOL is THAT ?
So.. Whats IN a PIE?

25. What some OTHERS have Done
with the Raspberry Pi?
• Audio and Video MP3/MP4 Players
• Music Machines
• Video Conferencing Technology
• Robotics and Lego Building Machines
• Clocks, Wearable Computers, Sensors

26. *THAT* is up to YOUR IMAGINATION!
But FIRST a word from our SPONSOR >
WHAT are WE going to Do ???

27. The BOOK

28. The Raspberry Pi

29. The processor ARM vs. x86
• The processor at the heart of the Raspberry Pi is a Broadcom BCM2835
system-on-chip (SoC) multimedia processor.
• This means that most of the systems components, including its central
and graphics processing units along with the audio and communications
hardware are built into a single component hidden beneath the memory
chip at the center of the board!
• Acorn Computers developed the ARM architecture in the late 1980;s,
where it is relatively uncommon in the desktop environment, but has
taken over the mobile computing device platforms, in our mobile phones
and devices.
• It is based on a simple reduced instruction set (RISC) and draws very
little power (energy) as compared to its Complex Instruction set cousins
(CISC)
• The ARM-based BCM2835 is the secret of how the Pi is able to operate
on just a 5V 1A power supply.

30. Other differences …
• Another important difference between the Raspberry Pi and a desktop
or laptop, other than the size and the price is the operating system —
the software that allows you to control the computer.
• The majority of desktop and laptop computers available today run one
of two operating systems, either MICROSOFT Windows, or APPLE
OSX. Both platforms are closed source, developed in secret, using
proprietary techniques.
• These operating systems are known as closed source for the nature of
their source CODE, the computer-language recipe that tells the
system WHAT TO DO. In closed-source software, this recipe is kept
a closely guarded SECRET!
• Users are able to obtain the finished software, but NEVER GET TO
SEE HOW IT IS MADE!

31. On the other hand …
• The Raspberry Pi is designed to run an operating system called
GNU/Linux - unlike Windows or OSX, Linux is OPEN SOURCE: its
possible to download the source code for the ENTIRE operating
system and make whatever changes you desire. Nothing is hidden,
and all changes are made in full view of the public!
• Linux isn’t exclusive to the Raspberry Pi - hundreds of different
distributions are available for desktops, laptops, and even mobile
computing devices. For Example, Google’s popular Android Platform
is developed on top of Linux!
• Finally, there is a key point to make: software written for Windows or
OSX won’t run on Linux. Thankfully there are plenty of compatible
alternatives for the majority of the common software products —
better still, the majority are FREE to USE and OPEN SOURCE as the
operating system itself!

33. Class 101: Part 1 of 6
• UNPACK Raspberry Pi
• Become Familiar with COMPONENTS and
PERIPHERALS
• Demonstration of Raspberry Pi in Action!

34. PI Parts …
• HDMI Video - High quality picture can be
optioned using the HDMI, or High Definition
Multimedia Inteface connector, the only port
found on the botton of the Pi. Unlike the
analog composite connection, the HDMI port
provides a high speed digital connection for
pixel-perfect pictures on both computer
monitors and high-definition displays. Using
the HDMI port, a Pi can display images at Full
HD 1920x1080 resolution!

35. PI Parts …
• Composite Video - available via the yellow-
and-silver port at the top of the Pi known as an
RCA phono connector, designed for
connecting the Raspberry Pi to older display
devices. As the name suggests, the connector
creates a composite of the colors found within
an image - RED, GREEN, and BLUE.

36. PI Parts …
• Audio - If you are using the Pi’s HDMI port,
audio is simple: when properly configured, the
HDMI port carries both the video signal and the
digital audio signal. This means you can
connect a single cable to your display device to
both SEE and HEAR.

37. PI Parts …
• Connecting the Keyboard and Mouse, and the
USB Hub!

38. Getting Started with PI

46. FAMOUS QUOTES FROM
OUR SAGES …
The Talmud in tractate Shabbos 31a relates the following well-known
story of Hillel:
"On another occasion it happened that a certain heathen came
before Shammai and said to him, "Make me a proselyte, on the
condition that you teach me the whole Torah while I stand on one
foot."[1] Thereupon he chased him away with the builder's cubit that
was in his hand.[2] When he came before Hillel, (he also asked Hillel
to teach him the entire Torah while standing on one foot) Hillel
replied, "What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor: that is
the whole Torah while the rest is commentary; go and learn it.”[3]
1 See Kli Yakor on the verse "Love your fellow as yourself" for an explanation as to why the ger
wished to hear the Torah standing on one foot.
2 See Likkutei Sichos, Vol. 2, p. 321, for an explanation of Shammai's conduct.
3 See Hisvaadiyus 5744, Vol. 3, p. 1971, that "go and learn it" is a directive to go and learn how
every part of the Torah is an explanation of the mitzvah of ahavas Yisrael. See also Hisvaadiyus
5743, p. 50, that "go and learn" is the imperative to see continually how the individual is one part of a
large body. See also Hisvaadiyus 5745, Vol. 2, p. 1193, for an alternative explanation: "Go and learn"
is a promise, i.e., if one fulfills the mitzvah of ahavas Yisrael properly, one will merit to learn the entire
Torah which is an explanation of the mitzvah.

47. FAMOUS QUOTES FROM
OUR SAGES …
The Tzemach Tzedek once said: Aleph, Beis,
Gimmel, Daled. ‫…אבגד‬
Aleph stands for Ahavah/love.
Beis stands for Berachah/blessing.
Gimmel stands for Gaavah/arrogance
Daled stands for Dalus/poverty.
Where there is love there is blessing; where there is
arrogance there is poverty.

48. FAMOUS QUOTES FROM
OUR SAGES …
On the above, from Iggeres Hakodesh, ch. 23,
where the Alter Rebbe writes, "Therefore, my
beloved and dear ones, I beg of you to make an
effort with all your heart and soul to drive into your
heart the love for one's fellow man,"
