Parenting Matters

With Zvi Weiss
 
Learn how Judaism can be a source of wisdom to help you connect with your children and create a spiritual home.
Parenting Matters is an adult learning group for Jewish and interfaith families raising children five years of age or younger. All parents are welcome in this warm, interactive 6-week program designed for learners of all levels. We will explore basic Jewish principles and how to apply our learning into modern parenting practices through topics such as:
Creating sacred moments with your children
The quest for personal and family spirituality
Ethics within the family and between people
The pursuit of personal meaning
