Dear Rov. I have been teaching for many years now, a very satisfying and self fulfilling Gemora Shiur every night to a group of well learned Baalei Batim of our shul. I have been asked recently to give a Shiur of Hashkafa to an important and larger group of Kiruv people that are trying to become Frum. Since I can’t teach both, should I leave the first group ad attend to the second group that involves the great potential of Kiruv?
It would seem reasonable that if you assess yourself as being able to be successful and be Mekarev many people, you should try to find someone that can teach your original group and you try to merit the great mitzva of Kiruv, as the end result could be the bringing close to Torah of literally hundreds or even more people. However, Horav Dovid Pam Shlit’a, Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a are of the opinion that maintaining the proper Torah Shiur takes priority. Yet, you should see that the proposed Kiruv Shiur is indeed properly taken care of and given by the right trained Rabbi.
