A Message from HaRav Dovid Cohen about Girls' Education

by Yechiel Sever


3

The girls' Seminary is a Beis Medrash for Jewish daughters where they absorb the Torah view and where they imbibe the education of yiras Shomayim of Torah and mitzvos.

HaRav Dessler sent a letter to a Seminary, calling it 'a Beis Medrash for the love of Torah.' This fundamental of love for Torah becomes entrenched in yeshiva students who become magnetized to the profundity of their subjects, which becomes an integral part of their very roots. But how can a Jewish daughter connect to the love of Torah? Only through the realization that the true good life is only a life of Torah.

We, boruch Hashem, do not need to subsist on bread and salt alone, and yet we still aspire to a life of minimal indulgence. The underlying principle is to establish a home of "Come and savor how good is Hashem," to rejoice in the life of Torah, with a life of basic amenities.

The mitzvos were given as a yoke, a responsibility, but a Jew must be delighted with it, not like in the past when they were punished [with exile] because they did not serve Hashem with joy. 98 curses were cast upon those who did not serve Hashem through the joy of Torah. We must gladly appreciate and recognize the advantage of being a partner in a choice of life with Torah."
