Drop-out

The youth that drop-out are very lofty souls who long for spirituality
Rabbi Morgenstern shlita is known for his remarkable brilliance in the revealed and hidden Torah, erudite in all areas of learning. His piety, evident from his youth, attracts to him a growing group of devoted and attached "Chassidim" from all corners of the world that revere his every word and do not make any decision with out him. His daily schedule involves continuous learning, delivering profound shiurim in Torah, both revealed and in mystical teachings, in his Yeshiva "Torat Chaim", writing innovative Torah discourses, private audiences with the general public and pious devotion only witnessed in earlier generations.
In a rare conversation Rabbi Morgenstern reveals his approach in education which includes words of guidance, inspiration, encouragement for the holiday of receiving the Torah. (Y. P. Tirenower)

“Unfortunately the problem of the youth, which have dropped out of the community, is increasingly widespread in our generation. What is the source of this problem? What can we do to prevent this from happening?
These dropouts are mainly very elevated souls which are longing for spirituality, for a deeper meaning in life and haven’t found it. Subsequently, because of their futile search they have fallen to external husks, the unholy forces which exist in this world. This enables sin and transgression to attach easily to these souls. This combination deteriorates these lost souls and has kept them away from any matter of holiness.
The only way for them to find a way back is for them to find meaning in matters of Torah and Mitzvot. They can only do this is by delving into the depth of Torah through Chassidut which can give them the deep infinite significance and meaning that exists in every detail of Torah.
Normally, the emphasis in Yeshivot is for them to concentrate mainly on mastering Gemara, which of course is the most important learning. However, they encounter difficulty in this, because when they look superficially, they fail to sense any connection of Gemara to G-d. The G-d who gave us the Torah.
Today, when immorality hails, we are plagued with so many souls manifesting so many spiritual ailments. We must challenge these disorders with more substantial ammunition. Deep and yet again deeper we must delve into the secrets of the Torah to give them profound meaning in devotion to G-d and a direct, intimate connection with Hashem. We need the teachings of Chassidut and the books of Avodat Hashem that will provide genuine meaning and magnitude for every nuance of each observance. Subsequently, they themselves will return to learning with vigor Gemara.”
