I would definately be willling to help think of ideas in where we can “reinject” love of judiasm into kids, or at least for the ones growing up maybe change something. one thing i felt that make kids do things by rote was the system in being taught, teachers teach for kids to memorize and get a good mark on the test, so the kid puts in their head they just have to memorize for the test and after that they can forget everything. so for these kids history is the same thing as historia, as chumash is to math, nothing more than just memorizing for the tests. I am not throwing the burden on the teachers but they must connnect the lessons to the kids life and give them practical ways to apply it. I think i reestablished that love in seminary, not only from the classes but from being in Israel, the land just changeds people. I really feel such a love for it and feel terrible for kids who are a point where i once was, knowing how painful and depressing it is.
I also wanted to say I do have a friend who her and her boyfriend are shomar, but thats becuase they only hang out together and not in groups of kids so no other boys can touch her. but maybe there is some way we can alter this system to work?
