The Torah spoke against four sons -
The tradition of education is preserved from generation to generation.
The Torah spoke against four sons -
Everyone has their own path and method.
One is wise,
He studies his Talmud, but builds the complex for himself.
His upbringing is easy, against the urge – he fights with courage.
His brother is evil,
They created his ruler, leading him on the difficult path.
His life is like a field of thorns, the weakness of impurity over holiness.
His friend is complete,
There is no malice in his heart, he does not challenge their position.
He didn't investigate or demand, he didn't even taste.
And the fourth one doesn't know how to ask,
What is the purpose, where is heaven and what is hell?.
From knowledge and from reason - he is deprived.
And you are the mother, and you are the father –
You are the educator, and you are the rabbi.
The child stands before you, without any markings or markings.
The forehead is smooth, there is no striation in the ear and no lashings on the back.
Just him and you, and the light that stands above – terrible and sublime.
Four sons, three partners, two parents and one soul
Maybe the child is smart, maybe he is wicked and corrupt,
Maybe he's naive, or maybe he's afraid of difficulties and questions.
But the purity of the mind and soul never fades.
Everyone deserves education - the wicked as well as the wise,
Everyone thirsts for love - it is the soul within them.
You now stand above, you are the exalted one,
But please don't forget, you were a child too-
One of four alone, in front of everyone.
And when the time of education comes, and when the time of punishment comes.
At the moment of truth - when the soul must be cleansed.
When the hand is already raised, when the rebuke is on the tongue
When the child bows his head and understands the seriousness of the act.
Just stop for a moment, and remember one thing-
Against four sons, this is a path, not a result.
A blow will have no value - when it is directed at a white person and not at its origin.
Education is not punishment, it is love.
You were a child too - one of four.
