ENCOURAGING ENTHUSIASM

[7a top] Rabbah bar bar Chanah: A husband (when inquiring about Shabbos preparations) must ask his wife with a calm demeanor [and not yell or criticize with intimidating accusations].
R’ Rosner explaining R’ Volby: Similarly, one must not constantly yell and scream to force children into doing things. Because, perhaps they might (Chas Visholom) not want any part of it later on (when they start making their own decisions).

D-E-ep Thoughts: In order to inspire others to keep and want Judaism, we must use as much positivity as possible. The more love we are able to display, the more attraction we will create. Instead of sharply focusing on all the “don’t do”s, we must bring more “look what you can truly be a part of”s into the limelight.
