2011 Convention: Will Our Students Adopt Our Values and Hashkafos? - Rabbi Heshy Grossman & Rabbi Yisrael Teichman

How can we succeed with students who rebel against our basic value system? While school is an academic environment which endeavors to teach learning skills and to impart information, the ultimate goal of yeshiva is to transmit our Mesorah to the next generation. But for a variety of reasons, our students are often resistant to the message and values that we hope to impart. Whether it be due to divergent family values, or their immersion in the general culture, such students and their peers can undermine the mission and common purpose necessary for our teachings to be absorbed.
This workshop will outline specific methodologies to deal with various scenarios, and present varied strategies to help insure that your students will identify will the values and Hashkafos of the school.
