Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 165 Part 2/2

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What does the Kitzur ask of a melamed, and where does a sign cross into nichush? The Kitzur wants a teacher wholly devoted to his students, rested and eating in moderation, and bars cruel hitting. Going with Hashem in simplicity is the Kitzur's conclusion, and a Jew can rise above mazal.

Key points

• The Kitzur puts a teacher who leaves the class or teaches lazily under Yirmiyahu's curse.
• The Kitzur bars hitting students like an enemy, with whips or a rod, allowing only a small whip.
• On Shabbos the Kitzur has no new material taught, only review of what the children already read once.
• After three successes or failures, the Kitzur lets a new house, child or wife serve as a sign.
