RABBI'S MESSAGE

With June now upon us, that means the school year is coming to a close, and we look forward to the summer months ahead. One of the mitzvos commanded in our parsha is that Hafrashas Challah. We are told that once a mixture becomes dough, we are required to separate a portion as "Challa", which is given to the Kohein, although today it is burnt. The Tal Oros explains that this mitzvah is also connected to the obligation that parents have to educate their children in the path of Torah. When one separates Challah she must do so at the first opportunity that the mixture turns into dough. Once the dough is firm enough to be kneaded, challah should be taken. So too when it comes to education, we must educate our children from a very young age to follow the path of Torah and mitzvos. Some may think that a child need only be exposed to an atmosphere and surrounding that is engulfed in Torah only when they begin to get older. The Torah's message is that the opposite is true.  The most important part of a child's education is the beginning, the early years, when a child first reaches the age of chinuch, the early school years. "Mireishis Arisoseichim Titnu LaHashem" - "From the very first moment it becomes dough, it should be given to Hashem". The Torah teaches us a valuable lesson applicable even in difficult economic times.  The value of a Yeshiva education is a gift that we give our children which will stay with them for their entire lives.  It is valuable beyond its cost and is irreplaceable. At the same time, for those children who can’t be in Yeshiva, the efforts made by parents to supplement their Torah education is vital to their future. As challenging as it has been for some of us to pay tuition this year, we can take comfort in knowing that we have given our children a gift for life.  Good Shabbos!
