Torah study and secular study, side by side

Hi,

"Our children need not forego the benefits of a worthwhile secular education; they need not sacrifice the opportunities for the study of the arts and sciences in order to obtain all the treasures of truth and wisdom that Judaism holds for their lives. If both studies are nurtured hand in hand, there will be ample room for both; the one will reinforce the other and the result will be a Jewish education that will find favor in the eyes of both Gd and man."

(R' Samson Raphael Hirsch, Religious Education, Collected Writings 7:21)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
