Upon discussion of Gan Rebbe with our fearless field commander, we had a fascinating thought. We have all experienced Rebbe as a fixer of broken vessels, as one who mends the broken-hearted. But if we should establish a Gan Rebbe, and then Rebbe Elementary, and then RRRRHS, and our children are shepherded, personally, by Rebbe from beginning to end - will there be any broken pieces for Rebbe to glue back together?
A vital part of our experience, what makes us followers of Rebbe, is our shared experience of isolation and brokenness at some point in our pre-Rebbe existence. Will our children, saturated with the light of Rebbe from day 1, be able to share this experience of Rebbe as a mender with their parents? Will the lack of this shared experience drive a wedge between parent and child, between the older and younger generations of the RRRR?!?
Must we first break our children before sending them to Rebbe? Or is the world broken enough, so that it will accomplish the job on its own, anyway?
