Dear Matzav Inbox,
As the summer winds down and the crisp air of Elul fills our hearts with anticipation, a new school year begins. The halls of our yeshivos and Bais Yaakovs will once again echo with the sweet sounds of Torah and tefillah, as children of all ages embark on another journey of growth, learning, and connection to Hashem.
But before we dive into the rhythm of carpools, homework, and lunchboxes, let us pause for a moment to recognize and express our deepest hakaras hatov to the unsung heroes of our communities: the rabbeim and morahs.
These tireless mechanchim and mechanchos are not merely educators—they are builders. Builders of neshamahs, shapers of futures, and catalysts for greatness. They dedicate their days, nights, and hearts to ignite within our children a passion for Yiddishkeit, a love for Torah, and a commitment to middos tovos.
And their dedication begins long before the first bell rings. While others enjoy the slower pace of summer, our rabbeim and morahs are hard at work behind the scenes, preparing for the year ahead. They spend countless hours planning engaging lessons, organizing classrooms, designing activities, and thinking deeply about every child they will teach. Each bulletin board, seating chart, and curriculum choice is created with care, ensuring that their talmidim and talmidos will feel inspired, supported, and ready to grow.
Every parsha they teach, every gemara they clarify, every aleph they patiently review is infused with a sense of mission—to ensure that the mesorah of Klal Yisroel burns brightly in the next generation. And it is not only the Torah they teach but the warmth and care they pour into each child. Who among us hasn’t seen the glow in a child’s eyes as they recount a story from class, or the pride as they master a new concept?
Rabbeim, morahs, you are the pillars of our communities. You are the ones who plant seeds of Torah in tender hearts, who nurture them with love and dedication, and who guide young neshamahs to grow into true bnei and bnos Torah. Whether it’s a warm smile in the morning, a gentle word of encouragement, or the wisdom to see the unique potential in every child, your avodah is nothing short of holy.
As parents, as grandparents, as members of Klal Yisroel, we owe you so much. Your effort during the summer months, your tireless planning, and your commitment to excellence do not go unnoticed. As the school year begins, let us daven for your continued success, strength, and siyata dishmaya. Let us support you in every way we can, recognizing that the precious children you teach today are the builders of tomorrow.
May this year be one of brachah and hatzlachah for all our rabbeim, morahs, and the precious talmidim and talmidos they inspire. May the Torah learned in their classrooms bring nachas to the Ribono Shel Olam and bring us closer to the geulah sheleimah, bimheirah beyameinu.
L’kavod rabbeim, morahs, and the future of Klal Yisroel—thank you. Thank you for everything.

Thank you for posting. Finally a normal nice bikovodika letter.
Reb Binyamin,
Thanks so much for the shout-out. Clearly you are not a rebbi; however I am! All that you wrote is so true. We do work hard and care for every child and in fact we daven for our talmidim in our teffilos.
We are people too and when people like you write such messages of chizuk it helps us and it helps our wives and children. Whenever parents write thank you notes, they are greatly appreciated. It’s not often that we get them but when we do, they are appreciated. Thank you again. If I’m a better rebbi this year because of your chizuk note, all the more is your accomplishment. May you be blessed with a Shana Tova Umvoreches.
Thank you for your kind words. I actually am a young inspiring rebbe. Was giving myself chizzuk, and hopefully to others as well! Hatzlacha on the upcoming school year.
