i think both are really important – but it is really good to constantly impart to your students, the greatness of the Rebbe, and the perfection of Hashem and Torah in general,
that Torah has everything in it, the gadlus of Torah, the beauty of it, the fact that everything in the world that people are coming up with today has been written and are the instructions of Torah for thousands of years, Torah has the recepie for the happiest and most fulfilling life for each indivudual etc etc

This will impress upon the student that Torah is everything, its the most sensitive, its has the best middos tovos, its the most kind etc etc,

no one is perfect, not parents or teachers

but a good parent or teacher points to Torah and Yiddishkeit and says this is the ultimate, the truth, the most good

A good Mechanech is always telling stories of maseh Tzadikim, stories of Gemilus Chassodim, Yiras Shomayim, Ahavas Yisroel to impress upon the child that Yiddishekit is good

of course the teacher or parent themselves has to embody that too, absolute sensitivty to the child etc but sometimes theyre not perfect, or a bit inexperienced, but the ikaar they need to know is just point the way to the Torah, show them Torah is amazing

A good teacher or parent knows how to do that,

so regardless of Gimmel Tammuz, if you bring the Rebbe alive to your classroom/home and the whole of Yiddishkeit in general is portrayed in a most amazing way, showing the beauty and goodness of it all the time,

the children or students will learn to look past the teachers/parents small imperfections, because they see them too as Ovdai Hashem who are trying to do their best..

But it doesnt take away from the fact that it is SO important for a parent or teacher to do their utmost to embody the right traits and be extremely sensitive to the needs of the children because that does impact them so much as well, it gives them the FEELING that Yiddishkeit is good, not just the knowledge, and thats really important – they have to be actually happy

Like the Rebbe once told a mother, make Shabbos meal so so nice, so your kid will love sitting there

If youre trying to teach how good Yiddishekit is, and in the process you emotionally are insensitive to your child or student its not going to go anywhere and they will just leave with a hurt and bad feeling towards it because theyre now just going to assosicate both consiously and also subcousiouly Yiddishkeit with bad feeling

The question is how can we continue to experience the Rebbe and his perfect representation of Yiddishkeit?

I want to suggest that stories and videos of his interaction with people are the best way to absorb his example for this particular issue.

Comparing different eras can be challenging, as circumstances and challenges faced by each generation differ. The experiences of today’s youth, with the prevalence of technology and social media, can be vastly different from those of previous generations.

While we should undoubtedly strive to be responsible and sensitive educators and parents, attributing a person’s religious choices solely to a teacher’s actions might be an oversimplification. Many factors, such as family dynamics, peer influences, and personal experiences, play a role in shaping an individual’s relationship with Yiddishkeit.
