To the Teachers of Young Children and Principals of that Talmudei Torah who are assembling in Yerushalayim today:
Sholom and yesha rav.
It is well known that HaKodosh Boruch Hu praised Avrohom Ovinu by saying that he would command his children and the members of his household after him. Thus we see that you were entrusted with an extremely important task, and that is to see that none are left behind. Special caution is necessary to ensure that chas vesholom not even one talmid is hurt because sometimes with a small remark one can lose the dear soul of a small child. Therefore all those whom Chazal called the matzdikei harabbiim like stars should be blessed, that they should merit to continue to educate yaldei Yisroel with a pure education, along the path handed down to us from generation to generation without any change.
