  1. I believe that the title is misleading.
    Question: Is it true that the Libavitcher Rebbe was against teaching english to kids?

  2. If you would read up on the history you would find out that it was mandatory to learn a language. So the title is misleading and sensationalist.

  6. Your title is misleading by making it sound that the Heylige Atzey Chaim wanted stam, his einikel to know a goyishe shprach.
    I still didnt get an answer about the Libacitcher Rebbes Shita of not teaching english gramar to kids, is that true Hirshel?

  10. Several years ago I taught English at Satmar in Williamsburg. I had a Teitelbaum, an eynikel of the Berach Moshe in my class (IIRC R' Lipa's grandson). Though most students barely knew the materials taught, the Twitelbaum kid lnew ir all, including penmanship -- as if he already knew it.

    Once after class I asked him how he knew these subects so well. To which he replied matter-of-factly that his mother hired a tutor for him & his siblings to learn English & math every week...

    As they say in Lubavitch: "Tzarske Mishpoche."
