Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

So start thinking about the stuff that you were learning.

Start thinking about the sugya that you were learning.

Think about the takeaways of that sugya.

while you're lying down, while the person is going to sleep.

So anyway, the bottom line is, we do have to treat Talmud Torah with a great deal of seriousness.

And it is an unfortunate lack of Kavodah Torah when our body language doesn't express the seriousness with which we take Torah.

But at the same time, it's not so terrible when a person is lying down

that they also learn a little bit of Torah as they're lying down.

Okay, question number five.

What would the Rebbe advise someone who feels strongly drawn to a career in chinuch and has the talents for it, but is worried about the financial challenges?

Part of my job is to help encourage people to go into chinuch, and also part of my job is to help discourage people who should not be going into chinuch.

I could be wrong about this, but when I find someone in this situation who has all the talent and all the desire and everything, but just cannot get comfortable with the fact that they don't know exactly how they're going to pay all their bills, that they don't have a clear path or a clear understanding of how practically it's all going to work, I think there's like a chisaron effect.

in bitachon and if a person is not able to get over that bitachon hump for whatever reason whether it's a religious shortcoming or whether it's just a personality type that they need to have all their T's crossed and I's dotted and whatever and they're not going to have that going into a career in chinuch if you can't have that level of bitachon it's probably not for you meaning it's part of

It's part of what it takes is to, you know, is to rely that the Rebbe Oneshal Olam is going to put you in the right positions.

I will tell you that most of my friends who went into Chinuch do not regret it.

Most are very happy about that decision.

And thank God their children were raised eating food and, you know, going to school and as B'nai Torah and, you know.

Like anybody else's children, maybe not with fancy vacations and maybe certain things that are luxuries in today's world that maybe they didn't have.

Probably better off for not having them also.

But I know very few people.
