We are "day workers."1 Day means light. Our work is to illuminate, to enlighten the world with the light of the Torah. Besides the necessity of maintaining our own selves properly, with G‑d's help - being what we ought to be - our whole avoda is to be privileged to develop pupils who are firmly based people, devoted with heart and mind to the inner kavana, the intention or purpose of our existence. Our pupils must know that it is not sufficient to study the Revealed Torah2 and to cherish the Sacred by observing mitzvot; there must also be avoda sheb'leiv, the service of the heart, davening.
