The Rebbe on How to Bring Enthusiasm to the Classroom

B"H


Prayer Books and Scholastic Enthusiasm
By Dovid Zaklikowski
=======================================

Sitting in front of a classroom year after year challenges teachers to bring new enthusiasm to their students. Rabbi Yechiel Malov, who served as the general inspector of the Reshet Oholei Yosef Yitzchak Lubavitch day schools in Israel, found himself dealing often with this difficulty.

Rabbi Malov asked the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, how to excite and invigorate the students. "Which prayer books are the children praying from?" the Rebbe asked. "Are they using the old prayer books or new ones?"

When Rabbi Malov explained that the students were using prayer books from the previous year, the Rebbe instructed him to purchase new prayer books for all students every year. "This will imbue the students with enthusiasm," the Rebbe explained. "According to human nature – which G-d gave us – new things bring happiness and lead to renewed motivation."

The Rebbe also instructed Rabbi Malov to cover the teachers' desks with white tablecloths and give out treats on special days in the Jewish calendar. "In schools that serve lunches," the Rebbe added, "there should be a special meal, and if it is possible candles should be lit in the lunchroom."

In October of 1984 after the completion of both the somber High Holidays and the joyous Sukkot-Shemini-Atzeret-Simchat-Torah holidays, the Rebbe issued a <i>post</i>-holiday letter giving practical expressive outlet to the holy energy of the holidays.

G-d, the Homemaker

A good homemaker is missing nothing in her home, but she also has nothing extra. Extra
possessions in one's domain make clutter, they're a distraction. So too, in the words of the
Talmud: "G-d did not create even one detail in His world in vain." If an intelligent human being
avoids both deficiency and excess, then surely G-d, Who is the ultimate perfection, did not
create any detail in vain.

WEEKLY TORAH READING
The Positive Negative (By Yanki Tauber)

If the Torah's description of Noah's righteousness can be understood both ways, why do the sages propose a negative interpretation?
