Principles of Education and Guidance
One who contributes from his wealth for the purpose of writing or publishing a sefer of a Tzaddik –
Behold, at any given time, and in any corner of the world, that a person studies from this sefer, the Tzaddik [on high] evokes merit on behalf of the donor through whom the sefer was disseminated.
—The Rebbe, Igrot Kodesh, vol 2
Principles of Education and Guidance
by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak of Lubavitch
In 1898, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak, who would become the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, compiled this treatise at the behest of his father, Rabbi Shalom DovBer, for use by the first counselors at the first Lubavitch yeshiva, Tomchei Temimim.
Within this volume are the practical, spiritual steps a teacher must take to move beyond being a transmitter of intellectual ideas to becoming a developer of character.
Captivating Chasidic stories and Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak`s own poignant personal remembrances of incidents that played a vital role in his education round out this thought-provoking publication.
