3505 —תכנית לימודים קיץ, שיחות על חגים, ודינים לתלמידים

B"H, 24 Iyar, 5715. Brooklyn.

Shalom u'Vrachah!

I acknowledge receipt of your letter from the 13th of Iyar, in which you write about the study schedule and its times for the upcoming summer, G‑d willing. Even though you do not mention it explicitly, surely before every festival and holiday you speak with the students about it, in addition to teaching the laws of the holiday and its customs in a manner appropriate to their understanding.

Regarding what you wrote that the younger students study only until the midday break—apparently until 12:30—it requires consideration how they spend the rest of the day, meaning most of it. Especially since among these students there are certainly some of an age about whom it is said: "Feed him like an ox." Surely you will address this at the next opportunity...

With blessings for success in your holy work.

Summary

The Rebbe emphasizes that holiday discussions and laws should be part of summer studies for students. He also urges attention to how children spend their afternoons after classes end early, encouraging educators to ensure productive use of their time.
