Thank you to the generous sponsors of the video.

The Rebbe, of blessed and righteous memory, was conscious of other people's feelings.

the grin on their face as the Rebbe says this 😆 love it

Thank you to the JEM team for all you do to share the Rebbe with us.

The gentleman was not at all offended, but it shows how insightful and kind the Rebbe was for considering that an older man might be possibly hurt by the suggestion of returning to education! He was ahead of his time. I’m not sure when this was filmed, but today, almost nobody thinks it odd for an adult of any age furthering his or her education, especially when one is in the field of education itself. It sets a fine example for students and colleagues, no matter the age or grade level, from daycare to the cheder to post doctoral, from volunteer teaching assistant to university president. Office workers and even custodial workers are included. In the mid-1990’s, when I taught a combination K/1/2 class, a new custodian was hired, an older gentleman of 59, from Alabama, who went to black segregated country schools, leaving at age 13 in fifth grade to work with his father as a sharecropper. He’d done many lower level jobs ever since, mainly as a custodian or groundskeeper. His work began at 3:30 in my classroom, so I was often still present doing lesson plans, correcting work, preparing materials, and so forth. He was interested in the various displays of students’ work, and the fact that I taught three “grades” at a time. His recollections of school were largely unpleasant, with class held in a falling down old church house with no electric and outdoor toilets. There were children in grades 1-8, and unless you arrived already reading and on the “bookish” side, most children started late and dropped out early. He was not at all bookish, both his parents were illiterate. “John” could read and write, but not all that well, about fourth grade level would be my guess. Since he was interested, I invited him to come in early and sit in on my class. I’m not sure who had a better time, John or the children, but they loved his story-telling and learning about black life in the south in the 1930’s-1950’s. John asked me one day what he’d have to do to become a teacher’s aide. He knew he’d need a GED, but what about grades 5-8? I got him connected to get his GED which he did in two years, then he qualified for TA after two years at CCNY. So he “retired” from custodian and got a job as TA for grades K-3 in a public school in Brooklyn, and through that, discovered his niche working with middle schoolers, grades 6-8. He worked in a school in Atlanta until health forced him to retire at 75. He passed on at 81 and enough people from NY remembered him that we hired a van and attended his funeral services. So the Rebbe was blessed with so much wisdom, and not only for Jews, but for all people.

Thank you to the founders of the archive, for storing these wonderful videos.

I need the Rebbe blessing.
