Editing Chinuch (Education) (section)

== The Rebbe's Perspectives ==
The Rebbe consistently pushed and encouraged involvement in education, emphasizing education at a young age. For example, the Rebbe instructed full-time shluchim to set aside time for education. When someone requested permission from the Rebbe to leave educational work to dedicate all their time to spreading Yiddishkeit and hafatzas hamaayanos, the Rebbe rejected this. The Rebbe even determined that the merit of educational work in our generation is higher than that of a rabbinic position.

One who has worked in this role for several years - this is proof that this is the mitzvah especially relevant to them and they must not abandon it, particularly if they have succeeded in their work. Any doubt about this stems from the side opposing kedusha. In our generation, no one can take responsibility for releasing someone from this work.

Even within educational work itself, those who can deal with more challenging areas are obligated to focus specifically on that, and one who seeks the easier work in education is considered unfaithful to their duty.
