התוכן החינוך שהורים נותנים לילד (או המחנך) מבוסס על שני הפכיים: מצד אחד קובעים בנפשו עקרונות ויסודות שמהם אין לזוז בכל מקום ובכל זמן – בנוגע לבני אדם בכלל אלה הם עקרונות הצדק והיושר וכו', ובנוגע לישראל בפרט – האמונה האיתנה בה' אחד ובתורתו, ש"זאת התורה לא תהי' מוחלפת" וכו'. ומצד שני מדגישים לו שאין לעמוד במקום אחד אלא שחייבים לשגשג ולגדול, וזה גופא – שצריך להשתנות תמיד ולעלות בקודש – הוא יסוד תמידי. גם, יש להרגיל את הילד שהוא עומד על יסוד חזק – הוא בן אברהם יצחק ויעקב והיא בת שרה רבקה רחל ולאה – אותם אבות ואמהות של כל ישראל! כדי לנטוע רגש זה בילדים חייבים המחנכים להיות "דוגמא חי'" ולהתנהג בעצמם בהתאם לכך, ולזכור שהילד שם לב להכל, ושהוא לא מבין שיש הבדל בין "קלה" לחמורה" (אע"פ שנקראים כך עפ"י תורה)...ג' חלקים משיחת יום ג' פ' ברכה, וא"ו תשרי ה'תשד"מ ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=30-10-2025 Synopsis A child's education is based on two opposites: On the one hand, the child is instilled with steadfast principles and foundations from which he must never depart, such as (for humanity in general) the principles of justice and uprightness and (for Jews in particular) the steadfast faith in Hashem and His Torah, and the fact that “this Torah will not be changed” etc. On the other hand, the child is instilled with the obligation to constantly grow and ascend in holiness, which is itself a constant foundation. The child must also be trained to recognize that he stands upon a strong foundation, as a son of Avrohom, Yitzchok, and Yaakov, and daughter of Sarah, Rivkah, Rochel, and Leah – the Avos and Imahos of all Jews in all generations. To instill this feeling in children, educators must be a living example and personally conduct themselves accordingly; they must remember that a child notices everything, and does not recognize the difference between something “minor” and something “severe” (even where the Torah recognizes them as such).3 excerpts from sichah of Tuesday, parashas Vezos Habrachah, 6 Tishrei 5744 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=30-10-2025 לזכות ר' לוי הלוי בן לאה שי' לרפואה שלימהנדבת משפחתו שי'

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 2 hours 6 minutesSynopsis: The halachah states: “One who davens must have kavanah during all the berachos, but if one is unable to have kavanah in all of them, one should at least have kavanah in Avos” (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim 101:1). Last year, in my Machshavah Lab tefilah shiurim for women, I gave an eleven-part series aimed at elucidating each word of the berachah of Avos based on the classical meforshim (1/3/25–5/16/25). This morning (10/26/25), as a YBT Sunday shiur, I condensed all eleven parts into a single session.If you're looking for a shiur that will help you cultivate kavanah in every word, this is the one for you! And if you're interested in an in-depth analysis of all the sources referenced here (and more), check out the original eleven-part series.-----מקורות:משנה ברורה - שולחן ערוך או"ח קא:אטור - או"ח ה:א; קיג:טרמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים א:נג, סא; ג:יח; נגאבודרהם - ברכות השחררבינו בחיי בן אשר - כד הקמח: ברכהספר העיקרים ב:כוספר החינוך - עקב: מצוה ת"לרשב"א - שו"ת ה:נברבינו בחיי בן אשר - שולחן של ארבעמחזור ויטרי סימן פחרש"י - דברים ו:דעץ יוסף - אבותספורנו - דברים י:יזרמב"ן - בראשית יד:יחאבודרהם - אבותאבן עזרא - ישעיהו סג:זספורנו - בראשית יד:יטאברבנאל - בראשית יד:יז-כרלב"ג - במדבר י:ט-יGoldmintz – The Rav on Tefillah: An Anthology of Teachings by Rabbi Joseph B.

Chelek Chof Hey, page 19: Dont give up on anyoneThis sicha learning is in zchus of a Refuah Sheleima for Levi HaLevi ben Leah!In this week's sicha the Rebbe explores why Noach didn't daven for his generation as Moshe later did. Reb Yehuda explains that this wasn't Noach's fault, he simply lived before the Avos, whose merit empowered Moshe's prayers. Reb Yitzchak, however, argues that even without those merits, Noach still should have prayed for others; somehow, he could have found a way to arouse mercy for his generation. Reb Levik explains that these two views reflect their inner traits: Reb Yehuda's chessed versus Reb Yitzchak's gevurah. We know dan l'kaf zechus- judging others favorably - isn't only for those with a kind nature; it's a rule for every Jew, no matter their temperament.The discussion parallels Rashi's comment on “Noach ish tzadik bedorosav” - was Noach righteous only in his generation or would he have been even greater among true tzadikim? If the Torah prefers positive language, why mention a possible negative? The Rebbe explains that when Torah describes a person, it always uses positive language, but when it teaches a lesson, clarity takes priority - even if it sounds critical. Guidelines must be clear. Here the Torah isn't telling us biographical details about Noach, but giving us guidance: to learn from Noach's limits, not to imitate them. Noach did the best he could in his generation, but for us the lesson is not to stop at “I did my part.” Like Reb Yitzchak emphasizes, we must never give up on anyone; even when a situation seems hopeless, we can, and must, continue to daven and reach out.This teaching carries powerful relevance today. Sometimes we feel we've tried everything to inspire others or fix a situation, and we tell ourselves it's out of our hands. But the Rebbe reminds us: don't stop praying, don't stop believing, and don't stop caring. The very act of staying committed brings divine mercy and opens new channels of blessing. Just as Moshe, a man of emes, wanted us to follow in Aharon's ways of peace, we can “do Noach a favor” by learning from his story and choosing differently - never giving up on a fellow Jew, always believing in the possibility of change, and bringing closer the time when “no Jew will ever be lost again.”
