With two similar experiences (like having two children, for example), it’s human nature to draw comparisons. But it’s those differences that make both of the experiences unique and special.
Parenting by the Parshah
Parenting by the Parshah – Matot-Masei
Where do you go when you just need a little personal space to yourself? Parenting truly makes you value those moments, and this too is Torah.
Parenting by the Parshah – Pinchas
Parshat Pinchas isn’t just about leaving a legacy, but creating a plan (and even a contingency plan) for that legacy. Whether it’s a will, a trust, or a simple set of guidelines, it’s one of the most important responsibilities of parenthood, and yes, this too is Torah.
Parenting by the Parshah – Balak
If some parts of the Torah seem far-fetched to the more skeptically-minded among us, Parshat Balak must seem downright crazy. Then again, imaginative play is a critical component of a healthy childhood, and perhaps this too is Torah.
Parenting by the Parshah – Chukat
“Use your words!” Rest assured you aren’t the first parent to try to instill this concept. It’s also the tough lesson Moshe learns in Parshat Chukat.
