trap is a little bit the upcoming
production so we're now
on page
um
we're on page 39 and and
let's learn the kit sir uh
the only time when education and
guidance will be appropriate as when it
comes with composure
composure and courtesy
the yoifi habitui and it also includes
uh pleasant expressions because
with appropriate expressions
remember we spoke a lot about that i
said let us go on now that
is continuing
this is the third of his conditions that
he suggests
that the mechanic must have before teeth
before educating
us
the educator must know the essence of
the
educated of the student of this of the
student
and he adds this word not only his mohus
but also his
massive in english the word mata means
the situation and we'll see what the
rabbit means with this
in this context let's let's let's study
the essence and the massive and the
situation of the educated
there are two pillars
two very important pillars
that the idea of educating and
and guidance with all of its heck if
with all of its
um with with all that it entails
both in hekev and
broadness and and circumference meaning
with in in all of it it with all that it
entails
nishan alayhim says that ever
this is what it it
relies depends on them the heck if
the environment the culture and
everything else
is the key to have a successful
[Music]
we've already established before that
that i've been saying without saying
those words that the success
removing zehum zeem is like schmutz
ugly character removing bad
hagas coarse coarse grub kite
ink if so if that's the beginning
and therefore it is so important for the
educator to pay attention
to or to create to to come up with a
misogynist
a very organized limb
the educator has to has to carefully
this is what he's saying
he has to carefully organize
an approach that will will
include knowing the mohus the essence of
that student
and if he doesn't take that time to
evaluate
the mohus the essence of that student
everything that will follow could be a
big mistake it's like building a
building on a foundation that's weak
which will crumble meditation
and so he calls this this evaluation
he avoid
it's a very difficult task ukraine
are much more difficult
it's more difficult evaluating the
character of the
individual the very essential character
then evaluating the knowledge of a
student
and what you need to teach him or her
let's read what he says and if and maybe
i'll give some comment to that if it's
not clear
why what's the difference
a teacher that's involved in teaching
instructing
the prophets tell
and he desires to place the student on a
good base of knowledge of havana
bummer scholars regarding concepts and
ideas he wants to teach him to
understand and know information
he must evaluate the very essence
of the talmud's talents and his senses
aleph bahamut in creativity
is he strong in creativity is he not
based by husband explanation
you know there are plenty of people that
are great with ideas but there's
poor in explaining
three literally meaning
literally meaning with it with the idea
settling in the person you probably
realize that out of base and gimbal
is are other words for
bina and das
is that part of the mind where something
is
you focus and concentrate on something
so it settles within you so that ever
says
that the end that the instructor needs
to
pinpoint if he wants to succeed in
communicating
information that the student will get
and be able to understand and use you
need to know
is the student strong in a das in
in the in in any of these three and all
three and two other three etc
because if you if you if you give
someone
who is weak in husband weak in
explanation
and you give him um you know too much
explanation
it goes right over his head
and the same is true and this is joshua
so therefore
you have to evaluate what is the
strength of this person's senses and
talents
and and the way his brain work or her
brain works
and that's the type of information that
i'm going to give them
now of course you you're probably
thinking well in the classroom the
teacher can't
you know have 25 different 20 to 5 20
different
uh what's it called uh
modalities modalities of teaching it's
just an impossibility that's true
but the evaluation is important because
then
the teacher knows what to expect or not
expect from a certain student like i
told you
if a student is not good at taking
written examinations but better in oral
the teachers should do that
if you don't do it in front of everyone
to make you know free looking
differences
but take into consideration and a good
teacher
is sensitive to these things and and is
keen on these things
and finds ways and this of implementing
it
in this way the student who is oh let's
say someone who is a very bright
and very creative right you put them in
a classroom
and you're teaching you know the basics
or or to you're teaching to the
to the to the average level of the
student that student they'll get bored
you know so what do you do so either you
put them up a class or you or you i
don't know you have to find a way
of keeping that interest of that student
otherwise you lose the student
so this is this is this is a a a
prerequisite for a teacher okay
we're talking now we're not talking
about an educator i'm a speaker we're
talking about
a teacher let's continue beyond
and when the teacher evaluates the
student then the teacher can
with say about humble school
he can picture in his mind that idea
and manners of instruction for
and then he will succeed with his
teaching to the student and this is very
true
because if you could tap in
on the students the way the student's
brain works
right and then and you feed him that
information you gotta
you got him lifelong but if you miss
that
you don't got him and and you know or
whatever yes
well just it's challenging to do that
when you've got at least 25 kids in the
class
that's right that's why you got to do it
before you go into the classroom
you you you have to you the evaluation
is not during the classroom
it's the week before the night before
the month before who are your students
and you have to he says she says in the
beginning this is avoid the question
i mean he was talking about that avoid
the culture difficult work job
for the spear but even this even this is
avoided kosher
right even this is avoid the question
but
listen again if someone wants to be a
rebbe in a classroom or a teacher
and just you know get a paycheck this
you know
he's not he's not doing this but if you
really want to be serious and i'm
convinced that there are
teachers that take before school begins
they look at every student
and they talk to other teachers and
parents whatever and
and they evaluate
you know i i i teach all of you right my
wife sometimes hear
is he hears hears and she says why
why are you saying this why are you
doing this i said you don't know my
students
i know them i know what they need
and i and it's a balancing act but one
of me i know them it's not just because
we're learning now because i've thought
about
many times you know and so i i create a
picture which
which i thought about so it takes hakona
it takes a lot of
work you know and also experience that's
why
an experienced teacher is is is is
is worth everything unfortunately today
when you know if
someone has a white beard is already
over the hill you'll get the young
teachers
there's a whole trend in the education
world
i i don't know if hilo if it's this way
in in the secular education world but
it's definitely this way in the front
world in the yeshivas and girls schools
anyone that's you know of a certain age
regardless
is is like considered you know i i don't
want to mention names but you know let's
say madness treatment i'm saying
manuscript is a very bright man right
but he's been outshined by some younger
um speakers who have
a they have a different style than his
and maybe that stop people like
better probably that's the reason they
but i'm just saying you know it's just
like
by it's it's a natural phenomenon
the truth is look what the rebel shot
did
who did he hire as the two must be in
for turmeric in 1898
in 1897 rep handle
an old man from the chamber said this
time and after
growing them another old memphis
and then he hired a third atmosphere
they called her a beholder alter and
behold the old one because he really was
old
and he was blind and and there was a
complaint
why are you bringing him into yeshiva
this old man
and there ever said just to look at this
man
will make a change in you even if he
doesn't teach a word
that's got that's lost today there's no
appreciation for looking at a man
and saying just being there
another story when the previous rabbit
came to baltimore
in 1930
1929 to 30. i heard this from the son
of the president of the buddhist
his name was rabbi patashnik of hilla
for years
his son abba patashnik was
the principal of ta in baltimore
and his father his father was the
the president from the early 1900s
in baltimore so when the rabbit came
they uh some of the other members came
to the previous
and they said you know we have one of
your students here from the yeshiva and
one of you has seen them as a rabbi
his name is rabbi axelrod
[Music]
right this man was like a tonic
okay and a massive talmud
he was right they complained he doesn't
speak english
our youth are going away and losing you
know the fallen aside
we need a rabbit that speaks english in
addition to giving the gamora shear
and that episode to them you don't know
what you have
and if you if you look if you learn to
appreciate him
and look at him and and and
and somehow you know spend time with him
things will change and he didn't give in
to the bella bottom
they're pretty much they wanted
basically either he should have another
rabbi with him or replaced
i don't know exactly what they wanted
but and that ever said no
this this this is an art art and today
it's like it's like the young the young
it's just a new style and you can't
fight the storm
the the current is going a certain way
you know so
we have to we have to include it i would
say
that if if if if the if the
yeshiva world and the educational system
of um
from would would it
incorporate those people together with
younger teachers i think you can have a
very good combination
anyway that's just an aside let's go
back to the text
on page 50 39 two lines in the bottom
towards the end of the second
the second line from the bottom
[Music]
when the teacher evaluates a student
and then communicates the right type of
teaching to the student
in addition to the fact that the student
will know properly
what's being taught ella is next page
[Music]
through this very organized instructions
[Music]
of the teacher will succeed
because he's using a very disciplined
organized style and teaching the student
that he will actually create an opening
he will further advance the talents
and the senses of the talmud that the
talmud will then be able the student
will then be able to think on his own
and this is something else that is not
enough
i saw amongst my girls some of my girls
you know could memorize many things
but they didn't teach them in school how
to think on their own
and talk about learning there's one
thing being a parakeet being able to
repeat what your teacher
says the other thing is to be able to
take that information and then
on your own figure out how
how to learn and what to learn and
understand your learning
that's that's
way he opened our heads he did
he did uh what's it called he did
surgery on our brain
where he taught us by making us think
how to analyze something and this is
very nadir
this is very special and very important
when you're teaching students
and also what's the benefit of that if
you can accomplish that then the student
will want to study on their own
and you won't have to say what are you
doing do your free time you're playing
golf eating popcorn and watching movies
they're interested in study because
they now unders their mind is working
because you've opened their mind you've
shown them how to use their mind
versus just teaching information and
repeating and even memorizing the book
stops there okay
i'm tired i'm bored but if the mind is
working i got to figure this out
so whether i'm tired of bored i get to
it
um let's continue next paragraph
this last paragraph was about a teacher
mushroom
now he says
when we talk about evaluating the
essence
of the character of the educated one
he'd be if and ah
it's totally different
[Music]
because here the primary evaluation
is about the ugly character
of the voters and
that by this person their
material their homer overpowers the two
of the form
in other words the materialistic is
overwhelming
the spirituality the uh
and it's so deep in the character of
this person
that this person is always seeking
self self
i it begins with i it ends with i
and it's in the middle of the eye of
us and and and the mashpia and the
educators job is
to get rid of that eye stop
focusing on self that's a much harder
job
why because the eye is associated with
who the person is
so here the educator has to kind of
tear out remove a very essential
aspect of this particular student
i'm sorry and when the mechanic
removes the zeal the ugliness
from the character then he's able
to succeed in being mushy on him
so people ask why why
isn't that of of of an educator
successful you know what the answer is
according to what it says here
the answer is because the teacher hasn't
evaluated properly the essence of that
student
so whatever he did was on the wrong
street on the wrong road on the wrong
path
so he he thought that his his
his disgust his ugliness is a guyver
and let's say it's not guy but it's
taivo or he thought it was taivo
and it's skyva but i got rid of guyver
thank you very much this person is not
suffering from guyva
his real issue is kaiva
so this is why the evaluation
of character is much more
severe and difficult and important than
the evaluation
of educate of of knowledge because at
the end of the day with knowledge edison
right it's a little more a little less
yeah i mean i said before if you
evaluate in
incorrectly a student the student will
be bored and
go off the green path to other pastors
but nevertheless it's a matter of degree
okay here it's not a matter of degree
here it's whether
you whether you know this person the
student or you don't know
and if you don't know him then his
his ugly character in that particular
issue
his his midara will continue and get
worse
it doesn't get better it doesn't get
better
if we think that by being dormant and
just letting it get it doesn't get
better and this has been proven
teenagers children
teenagers the longer they
they they don't deal with their issues
it comes out later in life
it's so important to really identify
and deal with those issues in youth
and if you work those issues out you'll
have
listen you know relatively speaking as
far as character
a nicer character smooth sailing as far
as that's concerned
you know if other issues come up where
hashem throws your curveball that's
that's a different judgment that's
chapter 26 and tanya
you know where bonokai and zayn if a
person has issues with children and
health and prognosis
that's not what we're talking about here
we're talking about our character
or the student's character let's
continue
the zoo this evaluation
that we're talking about uh uh
from the perspective of the educator
aina must speak a diamond
it's not enough well in the way when
it's not enough
i'm spending all this time to evaluate
the essence the essential character
ain't my speech
educator must also interest himself
also in the situation so again he's
going back to the word
matsuva today it's a buzz word what's
the matter what's the matter with the
situation
leos and he hasn't yet explained what he
means with it i think it's next chapter
or two so you gotta hold your pay
hold on
so here he has the words fever the
situation and the environment
yes
they play a major role young in
educating barack
summarizes only through recognizing
these two things one
aleph mediator evaluating the essential
essence of the person the student
base the word
means to interest yourself
to interest yourself be massive in the
situation
well no indian means topic
but right there's there's a word
i'm not sure if that's the same the the
show is with his son
his son gain the the the the interest
means his son does anyone know hebrew
well enough to say if they're associated
inyan and his
i'm not sure yeah yeah because think
about it the indian right
it's um indian means like some it's it's
in its form
meaning it's it's what's happening now
nitanyan
is something that will be to discuss
right look into but no
i don't believe the meaning of the word
lasagna means to look into it at least
it does okay modern hebrew but in in in
traditional jewish literature lusani
means to
interest yourself yes yes
yes grammar in hebrew wherever the
tip the hit you know reflection
goes on the person himself okay
therefore
and therefore i'm careful
he's going into himself
he's interesting himself ah okay
okay let's go further so the rebel says
the second idea
is and
only through these two preconditions
prerequisites
he can then hope
whatever doesn't use the word it's a
guarantee he says he can hope
that there'll be good results
[Music]
the healthy mind model of
all human beings are are equal shaheen
bali goofing fish
they
[Music]
you cannot say that there are virtues
and deficiencies in the etzem hanefesh
this is classical chabad the eczema
fish of a jew is perfecto it's a diamond
the x and the essence i don't care
what he does on your kipper and i don't
care how far he is or how corrupt he is
and you only have
discussed this right the jewish
anti-semites and all that idea the
essence
is perfect so the whole idea
of chesronos and milos
which is deficiencies and virtues
doesn't apply to the eczema fish
the heads of nephews is one thing good
great
holy let's continue
for for if we were to say otherwise
you know this person's essence his real
essence is gevaldine and this person's
essence
is really poor and bad ain't no indian
cane
it's not so it is not so the xm is
pristine
hello here is the big elo
only and the first
is coolant all souls in the very essence
lames are complete in the alsace labels
are nephesh
they are on the side of the perfection
of soul
colic being another forces what we could
discern and distinguish things by
regarding souls
[Music]
it's only when in matters and styles of
revelation
of how they re reveal themselves
how they come to be overzealous
oh there you have a lot of differences
[Music]
over there you see a vast difference
and the fact is that in this world what
do we observe
the first we observe is the goof
so the first thing we judge is the goof
so i'm sure davening a week ago and
someone comes in and has
a braids that um i don't know i i
i've never seen so many braids
so he looks to me like a nausea but i
couldn't say i
i couldn't ask him are you a nausea
because i haven't seen another in a long
time
yeah anything remember when we were in
morristown there was someone in
morristown called the nazir
i don't know is he still alive is he
alive youngest do you have any idea
uh no idea what's going on but you you
remember that
you remember the nausea yeah yeah what
does that mean i mean he
he took one
not to drink wine not to cut us here
absolutely
kept shooting are you serious about it i
remember it was a second
i mean the gemara says the mother dunham
says you shouldn't do that
but the title the titus says there is
such a thing
so god comes to show it looks like
another
i see because the summer's gone shabbos
what's honestly you don't think too many
like that wait wait he puts on his talos
he thought was with kavanagh i think he
might have spoken a oily uh
you know yiddish i think and
and he puts away phil and i i upset what
the essence is the same the
manifestation is one guy has
locks and one has ponytails and one has
a bald head
it's also chinese now when i say talk it
is i need to say you know a person
should should you know take into
consideration
but but but for whatever reason whether
he's a nausea
or he just likes to have that type of
hair
that that doesn't make you say this but
what do i see first
what what's the first thing that grabbed
my eye the
the the the hair that's the human
condition that
it's unfortunate you know and and when
you talk about azadek and maybe even
abandoning we talk about
that's the difference we ordinary people
the hussini is the superficiality hits
us first
the view of azadek a real sadiq is
otherwise they will see this neshama
first
so in the rabbit when someone came to
the rebel and and said about this or
that
last night that they had a video uh
iranian jew
uh herzegovina
of the iranians los angeles brought um a
few iranian bombardment
and one and he said and he says i'm a
doctor so the rebbe says you're a doctor
you should cure your patients and and
then he gives him a dollar
and he and he walks away and never calls
him back it's very
he says listen i don't only mean you
should cure your jewish patients
but you're non-jewish patients too
because you took an oath you have an
obligation
and i'm thinking about it like and i
could see on this doctor's face you know
like
why are you telling me this there must
be a reason which you know we don't know
but
that saddik sees the neshama
he doesn't look oh i'm a doctor so if
i'm a doctor you know abc
he looks he sees something to begin with
you understand and this is a training
and we could
we could refine ourselves when we get to
a point where
we don't look at the person's kids
his superficiality and external we look
at in the summer
so whether it be the story that maisha
shared the purim or whatever was with
the with the
man that came in that was like shikka in
the shul and he made a ruckus and all
that
and they wanted to eat him up and throw
him out you know
yes it's a show there's the quorum but
you know look deeper look deeper and
it's it
it takes a lot of avoida you see
the first thing we're going to say is
he's wrong
they're wrong and and maybe in legal in
legal terms they're wrong you don't come
into a school
and make this type of but then there's a
whole different level of
muscle even muscle
you know because in particular is look
at the etz and find the eczema
so the rabbi here in in our context
leaves us
at the end of this paragraph leaves us
with the following
that if you evaluate properly i think
this is what he's getting at
if you evaluate properly the mohus
the essence of the student and number
two
the matzah the situation you will then
succeed in dealing
with the person's issues because a
you will look at the student as
good excellent pristine and that part
that needs work
is because of a situation and you'll
deal with it
but you won't have the anger and you
won't have the disgust
okay and this has been proven hundreds
of thousands of times
where people you know they make changes
in their life
and not just you know i'm talking about
true but just you know
it's we're too quick to judge
so even us who are already a little
older and all that we could we could
we could work on this you know not to
judge it's it's it's a big avoidance
it's a heart avoider a very hard avoider
but it's avoided and as long as hashem
gives us life
but he does we have to work on not
judging people i saw this my
father-in-law he was so
not judgmental he was like not human
and he had it in his in his dna you know
i don't you know because there are many
others see them who are not that way
but you know when it's possible it's
possible to come to a point
where you don't judge and um
that's it you know tomorrow we'll learn
the kids
any questions you have any questions
a couple of comments yeah i just want to
say that the hebrew that the
the the river riots is using is
is amazing and just we were talking
about
earlier the the two things in modern
hebrew it's interesting
that
like um here he was
in modern hebrew one of the usages here
in israel is
when you go to buy car insurance you can
buy
also the second like uh optional
insurance is called
makif they called comprehensive and car
insurance mckeef
like it's covers all aspects of actual
car
that's the only one and number two
that's good
very good the word
yeah in the hebrew in israel days
in on a car again a car is the exhaust
the exhaust the exhaust of a person
there baby very interesting that's
interesting
interesting also it's also infection
the same words also infection what what
xe who means an affection
yeah really what's the connection
between uh in other words it's not the
essence of the person it's their out
it's like something is affected with and
an infection makes you exhausted
that's good so um
listen tonight is uh pesachini and
tomorrow
um we say tachnon in the afternoon
tomorrow we don't want to eat the matzah
different opinions the uh holy
mooncatcher
rabbit you know um i think he
says we eat it i think he says during
the day but
some people do days some do night some
do both so get yourself some shibura
matzah
and pesach shaini of course is the
famous lesson
as is
which means yiddish for english
it's too late it's never too late
it's never too late so they should help
them
yes what my my my wife is making uh
is making us much bright because we
brought some piece of shiny
okay make sure you have you make sure
you have your four cups of wine too i
mean with grape juice
anyway they should help that that um
we should share this message especially
with our grandchildren and
and friends and family and the youth as
an attacker
and and really not i just lip service
it's never too late
you didn't learn till now you can start
