Description

Rav Kook deals with the basics of Jewish education, and why Judaism always invested so much time, effort and money into the next generation, as the base for improving society's shortcomings. It's essential that chinuch be suited to the subjective needs of each child, each nation and each generation, and not just translated from foreign cultures. True Jewish education must be based on what's unique in Am Yisrael, our history, nature, personality, and culture, which accordingly, obligates unique mitzvot. It calls for a well-rounded syllabus, raising each to be good as individuals & Israelites, producing all fields, vocations and needs for the Jewish nation. Education vs. brainwashing? [Important: See part 2 in.: "Why are Youth So Idealistic?"
