Wisdom Why do the Ten Commandments, which include moral laws begin with "I am your G-d"? Because without the acceptance that morality is derived from G-d, morality – and therefore education – is guided by nothing more than human whim and conscience. History has shown us that a society can be extremely well educated (aka the German culture) and yet, if not guided by God’s precepts, it may be steeped in malevolence.
