Considering a Position in Chinuch and the Importance of Education

ב"ה, ו' מנ"א, תשי"ח ברוקלין.
The Rebbe writes that those capable of working in the field of holy education are fortunate, both materially and spiritually. Each individual case should be clarified in detail, but generally, one should lean toward roles that bring Jewish children closer to their Father in Heaven.

ברוקלין.

שלום וברכה!

ולפלא קצת הקס"ד בזה, שהרי אי אפשר שלא ידע מאלו שכבר ניסו בהאמור שאין זה ענין אלא בשביל נפש היפה, שמזה מובן שאין מקום להצעות כאלו אלא בדלית ברירה, ובודאי שאין זה ח"ו מצבו הוא.

במ"ש האם לעזוב משרתו ב... ולהיות מורה ברשת וגם זוגתו תחי' מסכימה לזה.

הנה בכלל ידועה דעתי וכמו שכתבתי לכמה, שכל המוכשר לעבוד בשטח חנוך עטה"ק אשרי חלקו וחלק ב"ב הן בגשמיות והן ברוחני'. ובהנוגע לאיש פרטי ולהצעה פרטית, מובן שצריך לברר הפרטים ובהתאם לזה להחליט וע"פ הנ"ל לנטות לחלק היפה הוא חנוך המקרב לבם של בני ובנות ישראל לאבינו שבשמים.

בברכה לבשו"ט,

בשם כ"ק אדמו"ר שליט"א

Shalom u'Vrachah!

It is somewhat surprising to even consider this, for it is impossible not to know from those who have already tried what was mentioned—that this matter is only for someone with a refined soul. From this it is understood that such suggestions are only relevant when there is no other choice, and certainly this is not, G‑d forbid, your situation.

Regarding what you wrote about whether to leave your position in... and become a teacher in the Reshet, and that your wife agrees to this: In general, my opinion is well known and as I have written to many—that anyone capable of working in the field of holy education—fortunate is his lot and that of his family both materially and spiritually.

When it comes to an individual and a specific proposal, it is understood that one must clarify the details and accordingly decide. Based on the above, one should lean toward the better portion—which is education that brings the hearts of Jewish boys and girls closer to our Father in Heaven.

Blessings for good news,

In the name of the Rebbe shlita,
Secretary


Summary

The Rebbe teaches that working in holy education is a great merit for oneself and one's family. Each case should be considered individually, but generally one should choose roles that help bring Jewish children closer to G‑d.
