HaChinuch V'haMechanech

Author: Rabbi Chaim Mordechai Hodakov
Publisher: Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch
Format: 6" x 9" Hardcover, 178 pages
Language: Hebrew 

Combining old-world techniques with modern methodology, this noted pedagogue inspires a unique, "total" approach to education. Intellectual, spiritual, and social development is not only essential in the classroom but to be truly effective, must extend far beyond the confines of the school.

Adapting of curriculums to a child's individual needs is explored with emphasis on developing the child's joy in achievement and enthusiasm towards personal growth.

Rabbi Hodakov was chairman of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's secretariat and served as chief executive of three major institutions including the Central Organization for Jewish Education. It was in the last area that he built his reputation and acquired the practical experience that informs this systematically arranged work.

His vision of education was permeated with joy, ahavat yisroel, and the wisdom gained from personal contact with the sixth and seventh Lubavitcher Rebbes under whom he served.
