The Admor Rabbi Josiah Pinto, the leader of Shuva Yisrael in Israel and around the world, explained his educational doctrine, in a unique lesson he gave to his students in Los Angeles, in which he addressed the great importance of educating children and youth and the great danger that can be born from incorrect education. His full words.



Educating children is not a trade



Educating children is a very dangerous thing, and those who do not understand children's education should not engage in educating children. We have said several times that Shuva Israel has been around for 29 years. It was open less than a month, we heard something and that day we closed the Talmud Torah. We arranged places for all the children where to study.



We can not control Talmud Torah, the education of children we do not understand and do not know what to do there with them and how to educate them.



Educating children is a very dangerous thing, and a person who does not understand child education - he must not take a risk and conduct himself with children without knowing what child education is.



Educating children is not a trade. Educating children is not a business. Educating children is the mind and soul of children. "And our labor - these are the children." Our ancestor Jacob preferred to go down to Egypt and not go to his brides for white for the education of the children.



The impact of education - lifelong



education of children - is a very dangerous thing. Many times a person suffers all his life and loses the power of his psyche, because when he was little he was slightly hurt by shouting, disgrace, lack of good education, not knowing what education is. Education is not a simple thing, and education is a dangerous thing. There is nothing in life today that is harder and heavier in dealing with life - more than educating children.



People who run schools and Torah studies - sometimes do not understand the depth of education. They do not understand what education is. Teaches that he comes to Talmud Torah and takes out the frustration on the children and takes out all the problems he has at home with his family on the children - he destroys and breaks the minds of the children and the children suffer from it all their lives, and grow up hurt and bruised all their lives.



Educating children is a very big fire and it is one of the uneasy things of this generation and also one of the problems - that we do not have the tools to deal with it. The world is entering some reality, the world is running fast so there are not enough tools to deal and know how to educate and how to explain to children in the most correct way the way and the line.



There is a lot to pray about in educating children



The parents have to pray many prayers and cry that the children will walk in the way of the Lord. It is not enough how much education you give and not enough how much you invest, and not enough how much you do, need prayers and weeping to the Holy One Blessed is He that the children will walk in the way of God, as told about the object of life, these became the object of life, I became what I became, because she was crying and calling me Psalms each day, it is not simply a matter of education.



every issue of education, teachers and administrators should communicate and behave with parents honestly very large, because it is the souls of people, it the souls of children, this next generation of souls.



taking the kids as trade, hostage - this is the greatest danger. school, Talmud Torah should be the Holy sleepers, track true education.



Education is right requires long-term planning



Education needs planning and knowing what to do tomorrow, what to do in another month, what to do in another year, and not to take the children for trials and rounds and exercises that may be comfortable, may not be comfortable, and God forbid take a risk and the children to places they do not know.



Educating children should be in an orderly fashion on the sacred stones, on the knees of the Torah, in the strongest possible way.

And there should be no play with the kids.

Teachers and teachers who play the smallest game - need to look at them in a very, very critical way.

This is a very dangerous thing.



In recent generations, there are many not-so-simple things in educating children because the world does not know how to behave with educating children.

In previous generations there have not been the attempts of these generations, that there are no correct and accurate answers how to answer children, how to deal with these attempts.

A happy child is not a problem child.

Why did the Rebbe of Satmar recite Psalms every morning to



tell a child that everything is forbidden - this is not an answer. Rabbi Pinchas Makoritz says: What is a great rabbi? It is forbidden, so where do you close the children? You need to know where to say yes and where to say no, and how to say, and how to do and how to speak and how to pray.



We heard about the Rebbe of Satmar, who every morning would recite Psalms after prayer. We heard it right from his sons. He would recite Psalms after prayer. One day he had to go to an urgent doctor in Manhattan, in Williamsburg, and they told him: The rabbi should hurry to the doctor, the doctor's appointment would pass, and he replied: No, I read Psalms now. They said to him: What, why? Read on the way. He said to them: No! It's the time the shuttles take the kids from home to Hyderabad and I'm afraid all the children in the community will arrive safely. That is why every morning I read Psalms about all the children who are taken on shuttles to Hyderabad, I read Psalms about them.



This is the vision, understanding, looking and thinking - to take care of the children and think about the children and cry for the children, and pray for the children and feel every child's grief and not take the child for granted, and God forbid not say: this child is obvious, the class , The main thing that the class will be educated.



A happy child is not a problem child



God forbid, if you see a child move - you break him straight, instead of giving him mental joy. Happy child - this does not mean he is a problematic child, one should let the child be happy, one should let the child be happy, not let the child be sad and depress the child and break the child.



This is one of the hardest problems there is in the world, that people see many times and mark a happy child as a problematic person and immediately break him, no !, let the child be happy, let the child be happy with the joy of life. Will you break it? Will you get anything out of it? Education needs to learn how to educate, education is not someone who is unemployed and has no job take him to educate. An educator needs to know how to educate, an educator needs to know how to build the soul of the children, an educator needs to know how to build the mind of the children and not take a person out of work to be taught in school, no! An educator should be something uplifting.



Respect teachers and respect them



An educator should be respected, as it is written in Halacha that Gabayim should stand when they enter a room, because they take care of you to do charity and study Torah.

So too an educator, one should respect him with great respect and he should be respected.

To be respected in the eyes of parents, children need to behave in an educated manner.

You entrust the souls of the children to the teacher, to the educator, to the Rebbe ... this is something sensitive.



We have lost the thought in the world.

What is an educator, what is a baby breeder.

The souls of the children - each soul is "one is my dead dove, one is for her mother she is born", each child has a soul, and each child - has meaning and weight and a world and its fullness in itself.
