  • Perspectives Issue
    FOREWORD FOREWORD Are You For Real? R. Alexander Bin-Nun was the general overseer of the network of Oholei Yosef Yitzchak schools in Eretz Yisroel. In his effort to guide the teachers, he prepared a list of what he considered the ten foremost principles of education. During his next yechidus, he presented the list to their Rebbe. “It’s missing the most important principle,” the Rebbe told him, “The first principle inchinuch is that there are no ‘general principles!’” THE theory of catering to individual needs has become very popular in recent years. We talk about each child’s unique strengths, and Truthfully, the need to teach children ““al pi darko,”” according to their way. Still, again and again, we find ourselves setting up systems to regulate however, there’s no children’s conduct – rules, grading, awards and chores. Even loose school settings, which teach with differentiated instruction and grade way to systemize according to individual abilities, often have intricate procedures for using those methods and for regulating overall conduct. Genuine care personal attention, and connection are replaced with “personalized systems.” since any Truthfully, however, there’s no way to systemize personal attention, since any predetermined program isn’t personal. A sequenced program predetermined of conduct or consequence is never responding to the needs of that child at that moment. Only by listening to child and reading their eyes, can we program respond to their exact needs. isn’t personal. Western SOCIETY is distrustful of personal judgment. To secure our airports, for example, we will impose extensive procedures, rather than just call out suspicious individuals, (as our brothers in Eretz Yisroel have successfully done for years).

One of the most enduring characters in Chassidic literature is that of the fantastically egotistical Torah scholar from the early time-period of Chassidus: geonim who imagined themselves greater than Moshe Rabbeinu (and found themselves questioning Hashem’s judgement as a result)1; hermits who could not comprehend why Eliyahu Hanavi would not appear to them2; and Talmudists who sincerely thought of Rashi as an inferior caliber scholar to themselves.3 Their self-worth was measured by their achievements and innovations in Torah-study, ONE OF and as much as they studied, a true appreciation for Elokus and avodas THE MOST Hashem was nonexistent.

  • Hatomim—Our History, Heritage, and Scholarship
    A Light from LUBAVITCH HATOMIM—OUR HISTORY, HERITAGE, AND SCHOLARSHIP In today’s day and age, when the Jewish street is filled with daily and monthly newspapers from all spectrums and parties, filling the minds with new ideas and aspirations, it is essential that the truth—the clear, authentic voice of Torah be sounded in the public sphere. But more importantly, our new periodical serves a purpose especially for us, alumni of Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim of Lubavitch. After the chaos brought on by the most recent war [World War I] as a tumultuous world has been disoriented, our brothers and friends the temimim find themselves scattered about in various countries across the whole world, far away from one- another. Friends who spent their best years basking in Torah and Chassidus in Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim, bound together in love, are now far apart. By Divine decree, one resides in the United States, another in Great Britain, another in Eretz Hakodesh. There is little contact between them and no opportunity to discuss the most important mission we have, to spread Torah and Yiddishkeit. It is this situation that calls for the creation of this medium—a periodical that can serve as a unifying voice; the voice of Torah, nigleh and Chassidus. It will serve as a place for inspiration and instruction about the work we need to do as temimim, strengthening Torah and spreading the teachings of Chassidus. Moreover, it will allow us to hear from all our friends around the world of their wellbeing and about their activities in strengthening Yiddishkeit in their respective places… (Editors’ introduction to the first issue of Hatomim) In preparing this article we were greatly assisted by Rabbi Avraham D.

Too long, it seemed to me. 'I finally said to Berel, “Why is he reading for so long?” I did not understand that this letter was precious to him, as he’d had no communication with his mother for many years because of the war.
