Klolei HaChinuch Education Principles Rebbe Raayatz #10

so uh we're on page 41 of the kitser let's learn the kit of what we learned yesterday uh of the previous rabbit written in 1898 and he says that the the fascists souls of people the shamans the fascists massimo is they all correspond they're all really one the division begins vice depends on the manifestation of the powers of the talents how they express themselves in other words the caylee the receptacle makes all the difference to the transmission of the summer so the nephesh and the goof the soul in the body the nephesh is wholesome we call this i want you to become familiar with the term translation the essence the essence the essence of the soul of the nephesh and what it means is the very core essence of the neshama that very core essence invests itself in the body when it come when the neighbors that god has it come into a body and it's only at that time that the the the particular talents and senses of the human being make a difference how the essence expresses itself and that's where divisions begin this is what we learned yesterday in the last paragraph and it came just to refresh our memories because there ever was very uh very uh clear in saying that there's a difference between a teacher teaching information who needs to assess properly the student whether whether it's whether it's uh creativity analysis or or concentration which is the three things it's very important but more important is the educator the mashpia the rapper doesn't use the word mashpir in the mimer which is interesting i find it very interesting he doesn't so far he hasn't used at all the word mashpea he uses the word and madrid educator and guide but it seems that he's really referring to of the type of person that we would call today a mash pia so the mashpia here it's not about assessing the uh the intellectual strengths of the student is as strong as that's not what the mascot was concerned about what the masjid is concerned about is dealing with the character the traits the behavior or in simple english the way we say it today in our communities manchesler how to make a person more of a mensch positive mensch you know we just learned to pick us whoever is liked by hashem my father-in-law blessed memory in the one-page will if you could call it a will that he left he said he wants no eulogies at all and of course that's tradition no eulogies and he said if you want to do something for my shrama for my solution my nusrama learn this mimer there's a mimer of the previous rabbit not this one there's a mimer in the yiddish maimurim on that phrase he said learn by heart learn that mimer and we did and some of us memorized it and reviewed it and when you learned the mimer you know and i and i said the mimer you know before hasidim who are you know also intellectuals and learned and tell me you see it seems like it's like you know the previous labor wrote it in yiddish in the 40s for the journal that he you know he issued without his name it was called hakri of from 1941 to 45 there was such a journal or newspaper magazine whatever you call it that he was behind but he didn't he was it was anonymous and he had a he had a pen uh pen named writer h who was also known as hj uh moose avrom hirsch moose because xv is a moose his real name was aaron levitt aaron levitt i've written about this moishe in the history of this in one of my khabad ports which i think you have now so it's the footnotes i believe and he's a whole story for himself and i don't want to go right now there but it's it's interesting to know how that came about so the point there was this this akri of abdusha so he would print in every issue there was a monthly ish monthly publication in yiddish why because the whole purpose was to be makhazik to strengthen the faith of jews during the holocaust when they were throwing away the yamatas and the shaytlah and giving up and the rabbi the whole purpose of this was in various ways to strengthen their and to tell them that we're at mashiach's doorstep and he came out with his famous slogan liao de la chuva liao giulia immediate trooper will bring immediate redemption and he paid the price for it because there was a group of gadolin and rashashiva and others who were very against it feeling that if god forbid it doesn't happen it will lead to a disappointment and a depression and that ever that ever didn't take that into consideration i mean you mean to say he he he he was smart he understood the ramifications but the the the the benefit and what was needed at the time was to be hazardous because what's going to be after 1945 when the war ends with 41 42 43 yidna going away from yiddish guide from from kai from tradition anyway so there is this one mimer that i just quoted before from berkeley's painting gimbal and it talks about mensler kite so on one hand what does menstrual kite have to do with the other day or not asked we were talking he said like you know it's very nice but i'm waiting for the hasidis there's hasidisabi here in every line it reminds me of another vert listen to this because it's a it's a beauty in poland there was a very big time with before the war his name was rabbi shimon angle he came from a city called zelika and they called him okay he was a going he was a going in in every part of toyota an open an open safe and anything you wanted from gemara to halal to kabbalah he knew it all and he had a very fast head and he had a sharp tongue and of course he learned tanya you know he he knew tanya so they once asked him what does he say about tanya so he said like this the alter ebba says in tanya chapter 28 don't be a fool to involve yourself in trying to elevate um middle his uh character issues someone had some mute yourself because i have an echo hear an echo which are ugly so let's say love a person is is is has has been caught with you know thoughts of love and lust and things like that so there is a whole section in the in in the balchemtrove and the magic of torah which is called halas hamidos to elevate the midda to find the origin of the meter and to go back to the origin and from there look at the middle and that will elevate the and and discard the the part of the medium and i'm going to go into that but that it's called halloween says the alton edmond chapter 28 out he said don't be a fool to engage yourself in this aveda and why not because if you are dirty yourself how can you elevate dirt look over there chapter 28 so he says the words don't be a fool said when they asked him what does he say about tanya he says wrote it only in one place in tanya but the truth is it's in every line of tanya don't be a fool in other words when you learn about the nether shelley kiss and you learn about the definition of bomb you see you learn about god's unity whatever whatever shimon is saying that if you really understand the shot what is this really saying don't be foolish don't fool yourself one time it says it through god's unity one third says it through the two souls one time it speaks about it this way that way but really it's one one one punch line altihi so avi and this my man and this says essay although outwardly it's very psychological and it's geared towards a certain situation and all of that but the better you understand it you will see that it's the yiddish word for permeated with siddhis and i'm going to say something that's pretty bold and that is if not for a rebel like the frida kerebe i highly doubt anyone else would be able to write such a thing okay this isn't just uh with uh this is this is deep stuff okay so we're learning now about now we go to the top of page 43 let's learn is zion so that ever said the mashpia needs to know two things right one is the essence of the educated of the student and two is a situation so a nice zion you understand he deals with the essence and then i think he'll do or maybe later in the eyes she'll speak about the situation let's see yeah is about the situation the massaf here is talking about the mojos home the idea of education is not designated specifically to youngsters rather it makes no difference who the student is how old he is and the essential aspects of education pertain equally to both and he says the the the assessment of the student's character to ascertain the pupils uh thing is something that something that is mishtana the difference is only only with the cosmic [Music] only the outer part the superficial part the informational part there is a difference between a young student and an old student if a young student doesn't know as much and no student knows much more so you can give them more avo [Music] both are the same okay so the quality is the same the quantity is different paragraph 2. the educator must assess properly the essence of the student with cavonous media zoo and the purpose of this assessment i know what does kishore noise of um to know his talents and to know his natural virtues he needs to do that and so too he needs to assess properly the deficiencies ah and and the conduct that he is involved with which is not appropriate he must assess that only then can he give him an organized uh prescription uh a curriculum for education this is more true if he needs to correct a particular deficiency is [Music] everything depends on the essence of the character and therefore if the teacher identifies a particular issue that needs correction he needs to focus in on that hone in on that let's see how he develops the thought paragraph three yes [Music] there is something if this person does this if it's considered ashanda a disgrace um and he disgraces himself and others machine came conversely who i said if the very same thing is done by someone else whether the person who does it is really lower he's not as talented and not as virtuous [Music] or whether he's of total different nature and essence so you're talking about someone else aldernach muscle for example autumn someone who was a great man i'm a football popular but my life people know people know about him he's a special person if that person won't be careful from from from idle chatter okay for him it's considered desecration of god's name but for like kangaskh what if a simple person speaks idol chatter it's not that way why not because he's not is horseshoes you're happy he's talking right well commissioner began murder we find it in the mother because of shawnee it's interesting in the footnotes there are 14 places in shas i believe 14 places where it says why is is this situation allowed in this situation not or why is here and the mother says what comes to my mind is the the right commissioner in uh brothers [Music] because he's an istanis he is very very clean he's he's a fanatic in cleanliness so therefore what we said the bishop says as a general rule for everyone doesn't apply to him because he's an exception to the rule here it's a different verb right that's not what it says over there in brachas but other than question of motion means he's an adam crusher oh the cause of different rules different expectations right you're the god by your shoe once you put on that hat there's different expectations whether you like it or not or don't become the governor you know but when you take a position or a rabbi or a leader i always say my writing i give it out to editors and if they goof up and there's mistakes or my copyright makes a mistake they don't blame them they blame me i am it's my book it's your art it's it's each and every one of us what we create it's a and and therefore adam khashov you're you're a very important person or you're an important position let's continue so that's why idle chatter for an autumn crusher is a big no-no for a regular fellow it's not a big deal let's continue [Music] someone who is totally immersed in beautiful clothing the latest styles everything needs to be pressed and clean and exact well the salsa behind he plays with his hair he makes himself we used to call it a chip a lot of hair cool sometimes i look at these uh boys and you know guys and they're coming to shul and their hair is stylish and i see him going to a mirror to check itself out south basara yosef was punished for south suburb i know when you're born you don't have that issue anymore but anyway you know okay for an important person a terror person what are you doing you're you're totally into your clothing you have to make your hair cool and fancy what you're wasting you're taking mine space that could be used for toyota and mitzvos now of course the bali booster have a whole different approach to this i'm not going there right now but even even that is misunderstood that's not what the bali muslim really meant if the bali muslims didn't mean that you should do that and get a high from it that no finkel of zlatka you know his his uh approach that the bakram should be you know to rest with very clean and with ties and and maybe even shaving and and all that it's not the hasidish approach but he he meant it i really believe washima he did i'm not sure it was that way but a lot by many of the bacharan but where he was coming from is that coveted he had this whole concept right of covet cover that title and all that but but uh but put that aside for now the difference between the muslim approach and the khasit the hasidic approach of the balsham this idea of immersing yourself that's the word he uses here he gives his soul his should be used for hashem and he spends time thinking about all of these things says the same thing by a woman it's it's adornment adornment it's important for a woman to present herself properly and yes to take time for adornment so the rabbit says it's the same issue for the man it's considered a waste of time and for the woman is considered the valdic next paragraph now the educator decides i want to take the simple fellow the simple student i want to elevate him with my milo's shall order them goddel i want to make him into a great person baal kishadis will vlog i want to give i want to make him into a talented very smart person talented about magical muffler i want to create a good combination of heart and mind by removing the very refined deficiencies and uh sediment like you know the schmutz assembly deserve that are found in his character next page for yifail 45 the hippo all of you by miles adam ullah and he wants the educator that the virtuous elevated healthy virtue should be upon him you know lazy will actually he fell back over ticking really low not only won't he accomplish his stated goal a lot of the the fact that he wants to uplift him from his very real essence to someone who he is not you know and has a great music combination of middles he knew who macau is miss assessed this is in other words the educator his intent is good but he misassessed the caleb of this student and because of that he rules him he hurts him look what he says the other words are beautiful he will cause him to beat from the proper path you know to beat down the educator with all of his good kavanagh he didn't evaluate properly this this student and thought he is to do to be someone who is really not hurtsome next paragraph persephobes yes [Music] can i give you an example is that your question um [Music] in english there is a slang word called a wannabe [Music] that ebb is saying if the teacher wants the student to be a wannabe is making a big mistake in other words let's say a teacher really likes a certain student and you know he says i'm gonna make this student into a great man or a great character and the student just doesn't have those tools for whatever reason the teacher has has faulted greatly because he misleads the student and the student then later will convince himself and he'll bring proof from his teacher that i am this bright genius or great personality and he's not and and i mean this unison is rampant on the street all over and the base madrish there are people who are shy to godless and their people are not tried to goddess it doesn't mean they're bad people they're very good people but godless is a whole different realm and guess what the ones who are the godless are maybe not in other words someone let me say let me let me try another way if a person is able to learn gamora rashi and tysons i'm a forshim you know anything here and he only spends time learning gemara for him it's a waste of time but he's learning gamora excuse me for you it's not adequate so in other words might if the teacher tells him you would just learn gemara and really ashayak to do more it's it's it's it's a blemish it's it's it's it's a real shonda that he gave him such a course of action and we have this with students students in classrooms some of them are very gifted some are gifted in intellect some are gifted emotions that ever saying the teacher has to really assess what his strength is and that student with that strength to be given a course of action that fits for him and if not that he's walking around for many years believing he is something who he's not and that's very damaging that's the point here yes moshe wow i i didn't hear the first part meisha did you hear can you say it over i didn't get the first part i heard the last part basically right basically joining he he he he leads the student to believe he's greater than he is simple wow okay [Music] okay okay i i just gave him muscle some amigos no but i'm saying that i'm very puzzled by this because i could understand it if if the if the real example is an intellectual capacity but here we're talking about midos we're talking about menstrual kite i mean i i think and i'm just looking at the english where he writes here about outstanding abilities and character and he says by stripping the pupil of every speck of impurity and by inculcating with him within him the sterling virtues of a high-minded person i mean i i guess i guess okay here's my question my question's bottom line is are we talking about midos bench kite oh we're talking about pure intellectual here we're talking about meters so okay if that's the case okay so that's the case then what are we saying what is the web is saying he's telling us that some people are mamish they're just not gonna get you know they're always going to be but they're they're not capable of being yeah no there's moisture there's different kind of mention not everyone has the same degree of empathy and sympathy and mercy and kindness and discipline you agree right and that's from the very core essence of the person so if you expect let's say you know take let's each our children are the differences they come from father and mother and there's such differences because they're they're by nature and by essence different and if a parent expects the same from everyone he's making a mistake and that's that's also what the menstrual guideline see the word menstrual cut throws off throws us off because it means human decency we're not talking about human decency we're talking particular areas of character whether it be mercy discipline can you expect once child to be as disciplined as another the answer is no just look at how look at them and smell them and hear them and observe them one is meticulous about cleanliness and one leaves their shoes and socks and everything around so as much as you tell them to clean up and it's important to do that and they do some of it they always revert back i just what do i say one of my daughters was home for shoppers and she leaves the can out and she leaves this that you know my other daughter would never do that you take a can out you take it out you put it back and this is after me you know 20 years you know hacking them right it don't help because their essence is their essence so the most you could do is you can do what we call in psychology behavior modification okay but it's like we've spoken about you know the cat and the mouse right the cat pretends what's that that's fable i'm i'm i'm a mouse or a wolf whatever the animal is you know and i'm gonna carry it all of a sudden and all of a sudden the mice comes in and he runs and drops the food that you know that's famous fable what's what's the the punchline for that thing you are a cat and get over it you're not a mouse and you're not i'm sorry you're not you're not you're not a wolf you're not smart you know that's it this is not meant to be derogatory this is meant to be honest that's what the rep is getting at that the mechanic has to be honest in assessing who the student is of course we endeavor to have more mental height and more proper behavior but that's not this isn't you know feel good judaism this is getting this is very important in education you got to really know and assess the situation is it now clear yeah yeah it's clear i'm just thinking i was laughing a little bit because one of the things is i have to work with somebody not going to say any names i have to work with somebody and one of the something that i'm one of the things i'm involved in in the neighborhood yeah i've known him for a number of years he is on he is a lathe zahavi such a good heart but he is a very rough around the edges first type of person and i've struggled because most of the time almost all the time that i have to deal with him he does says something which just makes me like like caustic you know it's like i want to like take him and like that this is it's like it's like it's like that's his way of saying hello right it's you know so i i've struggled because i for a long time i said to myself like i gotta say something to this guy and then and and then i realized that this is just how he is exactly exactly and when you and when a person comes to that position they'll feel so much better and the same is true with the education system let me let's continue on and finish so he says now after has um one second be safer but i never paid the base he's are we all equal name our bully davis it comes to he comes to conclusion he says people who are attempting their evolving title in in that world right meaning the world to come you know what i'm i don't want to rush it i'm going to i'll go back to we'll start tomorrow here okay i want to do it a little slower okay have a great day and we'll see everyone tomorrow sidekick bye
