The Chabad float featured a huge globe of the world and signs displaying the Noahide Laws–the seven laws given by G-d to all humanity for a united and peaceful world–along with inspiring Jewish music, to help spread the universal message of goodness and kindness to the thousands on the parade route.
Although the Noahide laws were long recorded in sacred Jewish texts, Jews were for many centuries unable to speak about them to the people they lived amongst. But in recent times one of the foremost rabbis of the 20th century, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson OB”M of the Chabad movement, encouraged Jews to publicize these teachings so the world could prepare for the coming times of peace and wisdom called the Redemption.
At the parade volunteers from the synagogue gave out The Good Card–a “spiritual credit card” listing the Noahide laws–to encourage everyone to fill their lives with good deeds and observe G-d’s basic laws for mankind-–attached to candy (kosher, of course!). Charity boxes were also distributed to remind everyone to do the mitzvah of tzedakah (charity). It was a memorable Thanksgiving Day Parade in Fountain Hills!
