A very nice story. But you do realize that for 6 weeks ,a whole group of boys could not learn properly because 1 boy wreaked havoc. So its not so simple to allow one boy to destroy the learning of 30 other boys for most of the summer.
What’s your point? Should we never let this kid learn? There are kids like this everywhere and while I’m no Rabbi maybe just consider that those 6 weeks of disastrous learning may very well have set this kid up for a lifetime of success in the BM
My point is that isn’t do simple. There are kids walking around today who lost years of learning and will never make it in learning,because there was one kid in their class who didnt belong there and didnt let the class learn . That kid needed a special school.
Wow! So true .. unbelievable thank you for sharing
Nice Story. The lesson is %100 true. But as someone who spent years in the classroom, that outcome is extremely farfetched.
R’ Yehuda Mandel tells such types of stories – and not only about children! And he says that one can – and should – do it for oneself too!!
A Yid said that sometimes he’ll greet someone warmly and then he’ll realize he’s not who he thought he was. One can either react and just say ‘oh, I thought you were someone else’, but it’s a shame, as the person is already warmed and feels this is someone who knows him and is greeting him warmly, so the fellow adds: ‘but certainly a chashuve (respectable) Yid too’, and the fellow smiles.
Let us not forget that the
‘good’ boys also need the recognition
