Description
This is Series 12, no. 3 of Sunday Lectures before Congregation Rodeph Shalom. In this address, Levy suggests that “the worst specimen” of what he calls “human wrecks” is “the spoilt child, weakened by the inefficient guidance of parents who knew not the duties and responsibilities of parenthood” (p. 5). He closes with a corresponding call to action: “Let us be faithful and worthy exemplars to our children, whom we lovingly correct, when correction is needed, as God corrects us, and society will soon be ridded of the spoilt child” (p. 18).
