Teach Alef Beis and the basics of Judaism to simple Jews
Write scholarly articles on Chassidus
Travel to distant lands for spreading Judaism

There was no one else available to do it
They had extra time on their hands anyway
The lowest levels can only be lifted by the highest
What is the Haggada's message for the רשע?

What sweetness of Torah are we showing the Rosho with the response: “if he would have been there, he would not be redeemed”?
It signifies the importance of the Torah in redemption.
Only THERE, before Matan Torah, would he be excluded. But now we have the Torah, so he is a crucial part and included
It indicates exclusion from redemption without the Torah. It also shows the Rosho how important it is to show interest in the community
It highlights the geographical importance of being THERE, at the right place, in the right time
