הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק צִיוָּה אֶת כָּל הַמְלַמְּדִים שֶׁלָּמְדוּ עִם נְכָדָיו הַקְּטַנִּים
The Tzemach Tzedek instructed all the tutors of his young grandchildren
אֲשֶׁר, מִלְּבַד לִמּוּדִים הָרְגִילִים
that in addition to the regular studies,
יִלְּמְדוּ עִמָּהֶם פֵּרוּשׁ הַמִּלּוֹת (פֵּרוּשׁ הַפָּשׁוּט) שֶׁל סֵדֶר הַתְּפִלָּה
they should also teach the plain meaning of the words of the prayers.
וּפַעַם בְּחֹדֶשׁ הָיוּ בָּאִים אֶל הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק לְהִבָּחֵן בַּזֶּה
Once a month, the children would come to the Tzemach Tzedek to be tested.
