I was totally blown away by what I learned this week in the Rebbe’s sicho (Vol 20 Sicho 3) about the requirement to learn with your grandchildren (AR Hilchos TT) and even your great-grandchildren, as well as generously supporting the schools they attend!
Many “empty nesters” think they are done with Chinuch and have fulfilled all of their responsibilities once their children have completed their education. In addition there are those who lament the decline in the religious standards of the younger generation while sitting on their hands and not doing anything about it.
Here the Rebbe provides a much needed mandate. The job of parents, grandparents or great grandparents is never over when it comes to Chinuch. Their influence and assistance in the education and direction of their offspring continues to be needed and to be effective!
This is also an example of the progressive thinking of the Rebbe when only recently educators have been pointing out the potential input grandparents can have in raising their grandchildren.
May we all start or increase our efforts in this regard and merit much Nachas!
