Practice Remember it is children who can best relate to simplicity and the essence of G-d. Do not project your own skepticism onto children. Children, unlike adults, do not chew over every piece of new information until its essence is diluted or distorted; they just listen and absorb – which is why they learn so well. Practice and Theory We must look at our children and tell ourselves again and again: Here is a fertile soul, an open heart and mind that I have been given by G-d to nurture and teach. This child’s life will affect many others, and I must teach him as best I can. Will G-d and society be pleased with the job I have done?
