Dedicated by David and Eda Schottenstein in the loving memory of: Alta Shula Swerdlov And in merit of Yetta Alta Shula, "Aliya," Schotenstein
Class Summary:
Already our Biblical forefathers in the desert, notwithstanding all of their rebellions and complaining,
knew how to be generous. As a matter of fact sometimes they even gave blindly and to contradicting
causes. The Talmud expresses this in amazement: “What is the peculiar nature of this people? When
asked to contribute to the Golden Calf, they gave, and when asked to donate to the building of the
Sanctuary they also gave!” Some people are compulsive gamblers, Jews are compulsive givers.
One of the most striking characteristics of the Jewish people is that by nature we give charity.
This is not only a religious virtue and charity for religious institutions—Jews support endless
organizations: Organizations devoted to world peace, to a greener environment, fighting cruelty to
animals, saving the whales, the Democratic Party, the UN, and countless hospitals and universities.
Where did we get the genes to give so much charity? From our father Abraham, the quintessential man
of love and kindness. Jacob gave us the talent to study Torah, Isaac—to work on ourselves, pray, and
grow inwardly, but Abraham taught us how to love and give."
A Talmudic statement alludes to a fascinating fact: even at the end of days, as the generations progress
and grow spiritually and intellectually weaker, Jews will continue to give.
This class will explore how today—more than Isaac and Jacob—Jews are characterized most by the
‘genetic’ influence of Abraham. This is also our modern mission more than anything else, to emulate his
example and learn how to love and accept each other.

Chinuch Chinuch is a good start and maybe the whole job The Rebbe said many times that Chinuch is like an investment as much that you invest you take out..
You have to do the homework with your children everyday no exception.
The children must have a geshmak in what they learn so when they grow up they in turn instead of all the Junk out there they will spent their time in gemoro halacha chasiddus vechulu.
Parents must lead by example if the Father has a kviuus itim (Learns every day at a set time) the children have to whom to look up and they will in turn have Kvius Itim if the Parents look to invite guest and help unfortunate ones the children will follow.
Above is the basics.

Es un gran aliento para los jóvenes que a veces se sienten confundidos, que comprendan
la realidad de lo que realmente están buscando, ser baalei teshuvá.
Muy buena enseñanza de la parshá!

להרב יהודה בוטמן נא לרשום האי מייאל שלך, ונתקשר אליך להציע איזו דרכים לתיקון הענין, כי בדרך כלל אין אנו מקבלים תלונות על זה. אגב, האם המהירות של האינטרנט שלך עובד טוב? כי הוידיאוס פה הם ברמה גבוהה ואולי זוהי הבעיה.

To Jina Zadeh My suggestion: in some Word-file record yourself a name and URL of the class including a Parsha name. You can create this list for the last year and for current year together (see Home page). This site, as stands now, has only one person who performs tremendous job to improve, change and correct it. Big Thanks to him, other supporters and Rabbi for the great class.
