A nice guy came up to me at the Kotel. He smiled and told me that he receives my emails (posts). I asked him where he lives. He said, "Five Towns."   

     I told him the most dangerous thing in the world for him was his children intermarrying, that some 85% of the non-religious boys in America intermarry!

     He nodded his head, agreeing with me.

     I told him, "There are two ways to teach Torah. I shook my finger at him and made a stern face, "Or," I held my hands, palms up, in front of me, and I slowly raised them a little while looking up at the sky.

     "If you have to be stern with your children's Torah education, and not spiritual, the chances are they are going to run away from it as soon as they can!"

     Torah life should be joyful, or it is not being lived right.
