suitable Torah environment

Eisov told Yaakov: “Let’s not live so far removed from each other. My people won’t be so wicked, and your people weren’t be so righteous. Let’s compromise with each other”. Yaakov knew that he would not be influenced by Eisov, but he responded that his children would. Rav Yisroel Friedman, the Chortkover Rebbe derived from this that if a person is asked to move to a place with no suitable Torah environment in order to engage in kiruv work, even if he is convinced that this will not have detrimental effect on him, he is not entitled to assume the same about his children.
