It is a great message in LIFE but I dont think it is a great message for Yiddishkeit.
All too often there is pressure on kids to be the ‘next Rosh Yeshiva’ its black and white and learning and there are no alternative routes in life. In my short 24 years on this earth (with limited intelligence) my opinion is that its the polarization of ‘Frumkeit’ that turns kids off.
If you say be all that you can be and that equals hero than 100% I agree with the message. But to say ‘this could be heaven or it could be hell’ (hey isnt that an Eagles song?) is the only choices… thats a little intense for kids to digest.
