“The word chinuch is a special word that implies the realization of the already inherent capacity of a person or object: the actualization of potential. This potential will remain hidden unless we bring it out. Our task is to cause the potential to emerge, to accomplish the chinuch that will transform the person into a skilled artisan, will cause the house or vessels to fulfill their functions, each room according to what it is best suited for, every vessel or instrument according to the task for which it was designed and prepared. When referring to the education of children, therefore, chinuch means stimulating the growth and development of what each child is suited for by his very nature.” A Student’s Obligation-Advice from the Rebbe of the Warsaw Ghetto by Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira p. 4
