The Badchanim are joyful and funny people who like to share joy (Taanit 22/A). They are also inspirators to help change and surpass each other. It is under this name of the "Badshan" that I like to practice my profession as an actor-mime. Making people laugh is a great thing and I feel happy when my audience goes back to joy. But I always wanted to give him more than that short moment, which he could take with him a kind of "know-how".
Seven years ago I made a very extraordinary discovery:
"When you give a child what it needs it can grow calmly and develop all its potential. »
For me it was a shocking revelation. It was even more remarkable because I saw it come true with my own eyes. I was convinced: "I had just found something that I had been looking for for so long."
I immediately started researching, exploring academic sources and reading over a hundred books. Then I met with teachers and educators.
It is in the person of Rabbi Jonathan Rietti Monsey USA www.breakthroughchinuch.com that I finally found the best teachings of pedagogy. Rav Rietti is for me one of the most competent teachers today. He set up a teaching methodology and a Jewish teaching based on the Torah and from the Chachamim. Through his hard work and personal engagement he rediscovered the true Chinuch who makes SENS. He had the chance to meet and learn from modest and remarkable personalities, specialists of the Mesora of Limud and a powerful transmission (he talks about it in his book "The One Minute Masmid »).
Affirm that it is enough to give a child what is right for it to "work" seems rather simplistic and a little childish. Yes, that's true, but the truth is that it's like this and it's beautiful news. Our children all have potentials that will flourish if we respect their rhythm, their character trait, their way; their Kedarko.
It's up to us, parents, educators, teachers... to understand how this KEDARKO works to "make it grow as it should, straight, high and strong". Mistakes are never in the child, never!
The stakes are high, and the task one of the most precious.
I had a huge chance to grow up for five years at the Yechiva Yad Mordechai by Rav Chaim Yaacov Rottenberg זצ׳׳ל and the Rebetzen in Paris. (My unforgettable mentors and guides were also Rav Claude Lemmel - זצ׳׳ל and זצ׳׳ל et le Dr. Elie Temstet - זצ׳׳ל - I'm sorry. They opened their doors and I became a student, an active member of this beautiful community.
I am a living witness, I have witnessed the most impressive; young people have turned into real Baale Teshuva real in a few days, in a few hours, it was unheard of. And marriages followed. It was an intense memorable time that marked all those who found it.
Unfortunately, the world is moving fast and it's changed a lot. I am there again witness ... but this time ; children who leave the world of the Torah. And yet they were lured into it all their youth... what happened?
"JUIVE PEDAGOGY" is the word I don't hear much. We talk "Inculcate" and "Teach" and many books give advice to parents, teachers and teachers. But I did not find that it is based on a clear pedagogy.
What if THE Jewish pedagogy existed, almost engraved in the stone and that it is left to the intelligence of parents and educators to adjust and adapt according to the children?
