How Do We Inspire Our Children?

“Just as in your heart there is only One, so in our heart there is only One,” 12 Sons Told their Dying Father, Conveying the Essence of Education

54 min

Class Summary:

What is the secret of success in educating and inspiring your children and students? An ancient Talmudic episode regarding an exchanger between Jacob and his children on his deathbed captures the answer.

“Just as in your heart there is only One, so too in our heart there is only One:” Children are the mirror oftheir parents’ hearts.

A textual reflection on the portion of “Shema” demonstrates the point that only that which lay deeply in our hearts will resonate with our children in the depth of their hearts.
