So yes, self-esteem is healthy – once the true self is identified.

This statement was connected to the Maamar Hechaltzu. A maamar that speaks about addressing subtle forms of yeshus, as it is what gets in the way of achdus.

regarding the letter from the Rebbe Rashab:
“This is because the nature of this study is to create a strong sense of self which leads to feeling “unrestrained” – the opposite of humility and altruism. The beginning of this “freedom” is freedom from religion, to be “free” from accepting Hashem’s kingship and mitzvos.”

How does this tie in to the whole idea of self esteem, creating a strong sense of self in a child seems to be viewed by many educators as a good thing- but from this letter, it seems like it isn’t.
