“Just as a persons clothes are not the person himself, so too the Hebrew language is a Holy Tongue only because it clothes the Torah. Study of the language itself will not bring children to fear God and perform the mitzvoth… The modern schools and teachers will ruin the youth and parents who desire to save thespiritual lives of their children are exhorted not to support schools that employ the objectionable methods.”
