Proverbs 22:6

 

משלי פרק כב:ו

Original Text:

חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר עַל פִּי דַרְכּוֹ גַּם כִּי יַזְקִין לֹא יָסוּר מִמֶּנָּה:

Translation:

Train up a child in the way the child should go, and even when the child is old, they will not depart from it. [JPS translation . Edited for gender neutrality]

Suggested Discussion Questions:

1. Is this an effective model for education? Is this a modern model?
2. Do we hope that our children "not depart" from the education, or training, that we provide?
3. What are the responsibilities of parents in teaching children a sense of social responsibility?
