I found this lecture to be qute splendid. I gained a better understanding of the verse about bringing up a child in the way. I thought it was in the way of the torah and you expounded it to be in his own way to find enjoyment in doing mitzvot. This is a great thing in my opinion. I hope to be a tree that will bring forth much good fruit. May peace be with you all.
