All Teachers

Thank you Rabbi,
I could not agree more with " All Teachers."

Dear friends who do not have the students,
Go to jnet.org and become a volunteer. I found my teacher there.

There is enough work for everybody: most of the Jews in this country do not study Torah, do not know Hebrew, and do not participate in any Jewish activities. (Not ethnic, not social - but Jewish, related to Torah and Mitzvot.)

I wish you good students and fruitful teaching.

P.S. I can not agree with "It is more important to Teach than to learn." It is one process. We do not have any right to teach if we do not learn. And we learn while we teach.

Dearest rabbi!

How should we handle the most difficult students, our own adult or growing up children?Our teachings fall on their deaf ears. They say they know already and do not want to hear it... A teacher appears when a student is ready, it's so true! Otherwise it is all creating a family war when we hear" Mom, all you do is to teach us, be a silent mom, a friend, trust me, let me make my own mistakes,we have enough teachers at school, enough". So much we want to teach those we love the most, but they do not want us as teachers.... what do we do, Rabbi? It creates a huge gap when they keep secrets and distance trusting unloving aunts, uncles and uncaring friends rather than us, the teachers at home.

Dear Rabbi Tzvi,
I have what to teach, but where are all my willing students? I study Judaism and Hebrew every day, and am deeply involved in writing poetry, screenplays, articles and songs.
By the Grace of G-d I've brought some family members to observance of Shabbat and holidays, but I pray that G-d will use my skills in a broader way.

Sometimes the teacher is willing, but the students are not ready!

Shalom

Even with the global access there is still a need and will always be a need for teachers. No everyone learns by reading. Teachers have to see how someone learns and adapt their style so that the student is more receptive to the lesson.
The written word is not interpreted the same by all. We write, talk and act according to the syntax (and combination of) they are most comfortable with.
Even I who has a learning disability with language teaches. If not the aleph-bet than the love that G-d has for us.
Being a teacher is not always standing up in front of a class. Teaching is as small as handing a child a flag to wave during Simchat Torah and dancing with them. To hold a grand daughters hand while you light Shabbat candles.
We will never outgrow teachers.

It is more important to Teach than to learn.

but what if I still haven't figured out what I can teach?

and yet, as a teacher, i see myself becoming more and more redundant as knowledge becomes so accessible. It would seem to me that the vision is that everyone will learn and not need a teacher. Perhaps a few mega-teachers like yourself will remain to create the wonderful kind of knowledge available on chabad.org(your meditation on the 4 species being a good example of that)!
