"The hidden things belong to HaShem, our G-d, and the revealed things belong to us and to our children, forever, to fulfill the entire Torah" (Devarim 29:28). In the Torah, there is a series of dots written over the words, "and to our children." What is the reason for this unusual marking in the Torah? When a person writes a letter to a friend, he underlines specific keywords to emphasize their importance. So too, HaShem, the author of the Torah, puts dots over these words to convey an essential message. HaShem is advising and reminding us to always remember that our children's Torah education needs to be our foremost priority.
With all of the responsibilities of life, it is easy to get distracted. In light of this, HaShem sends every parent a personal reminder to make their children's spiritual growth their primary concern.
If you are a parent or a teacher, reflect on how you can spiritually uplift your children or students. Take specific actions to accomplish your goal. Nurture with ample supplies of love and compassion, the souls that are in your care.
