HaRav Shaul Alter Urges Love For Struggling Children, Warns Of Rising Pressures In Yeshivos
During his visit to Los Angeles this week, Harav Shaul Alter, Rosh Yeshiva of Pnei Menachem in Eretz Yisroel, delivered a powerful and deeply resonant message on the Torah’s approach to raising children—especially those who have strayed from the path of Yiddishkeit.
In response to a question about wayward children, Rav Shaul emphasized that love must be the foundation of any approach.
“First of all, love them,” he declared unequivocally. “I say this since I’ve heard that there’s a disagreement about this. But it would appear to be clear that everyone should agree on this—that when a child falls by the wayside, we need to love him.”
Rav Shaul expressed astonishment that anyone would dispute this fundamental principle. “I’ve heard that others say not to [love them], but to me, this is perplexing. Everyone whom I know—experts, those who understand, and also logic itself—dictates that you must love them. Love them very, very much.”
HaRav Shternbuch: “Our Yeshuah Won’t Come From President Trump”
Israelis and Jews around the world breathed a sigh of relief after US President Donald Trump was elected as the next president.
Upon entering office, Trump immediately implemented a number of of pro-Israel measures, lifting the arms embargo Biden imposed on Israel, restoring sanctions on the ICC, and lifting sanctions on Israeli settlers.
Trump then shocked the world, including Israel, by demanding that Palestinians in Gaza be resettled.
But of course, Am Yisrael can only trust Hashem and ‘לב מלכים ושרים ביד ה’. A video circulating in recent days, shows HaGaon HaRav Shternbuch speaking at his home [in English], warning that the “yeshuah will not come from the new President of America.”
“When Am Yisrael recognizes there’s no other way, only through Hashem Yisbarach – any thoughts of a ‘big army,’ a ‘big Air Force,’ or ‘We are very strong,’ – nothing will come out of it,” HaRav Shternbuch said.
“The only thing we have is the Ribbono Shel Olam. The future Geulah will come only when we recognize that no one can help us but Hashem Yisbarach Himself.”
“Today there are many people relying on the new President in America – he will help us, they say. But you should know – these people are delaying the arrival of Moshiach.”
“Only when we recognize ‘אפס עצור ועזוב’ [an expression from the Tanach that refers to a state of complete despair, with no one to depend on for assistance]. No one can help, only Hashem Yisbarach. We won’t be helped by the president of America. Only then will Hashem Yisbarach bring the yeshuah.”
