The Children Come First: “Light, Joy, Gladness, Glory”: Part 2 - Purim, 5732 · February 29, 1972

Today, a myriad influences try to pull children in the wrong direction… But through our honest effort, even those who “bowed to the statue” and “indulged in the royal feast” – their children will study Torah, and the parents, too, will share in Torah’s light.

The Children Come First: “Light, Joy, Gladness, Glory”
Part 2 - Purim, 5732 · February 29, 1972
Disc 72, Program 287

Event Date: 14 Adar 5732 - February 29, 1972

Today, a myriad influences try to pull children in the wrong direction… But through our honest effort, even those who “bowed to the statue” and “indulged in the royal feast” – their children will study Torah, and the parents, too, will share in Torah’s light.

This will lead to ‘Joy – the Festivals.’ He will celebrate the day he was redeemed from Egypt, the day he received the Torah, and the day he leaves his home to sit in a Sukkah.

If someone will challenge him: “Your soul might enjoy the Sukkah, but your body is uncomfortable there…” He’ll respond: “No! ‘Gladness refers to circumcision’ – The Jew’s very body is elevated in an eternal bond with G-d.”

And if he is asked: “But you live amongst seventy nations! Won’t they humiliate you?” He will respond: “No! ‘Glory refers to Tefillin.’ When I’ll go out on the street, all the nations will see that I am proud of my Judaism, and they ‘will fear me!’”
