is proud to be offering a 10 week program, Parenting Through a Jewish Lens, this fall in collaboration with Hebrew College and Combined Jewish Philanthropy’s Commission on Jewish Life and Learning.
Let's face it. Those of us who have a kid or kids are really busy. If we have a break, we want to go to the gym, get groceries, catch up with friends . . . there are millions of ways to spend our precious free time. But when do we stop and reflect on our most important role?
We invite you to make room in your life for an incredible opportunity. Give yourself the gift of a ten-session inspirational course, Parenting Through a Jewish Lens. Together with other thoughtful parents, discover how ikkarim (Hebrew for “principles”) can inspire good parenting. Learn how Judaism's sage perceptions about the human condition can enrich your relationships.
