Lessons Learned From My Children: Insights and Inspiration from Everyday Life

From all of my teachers, I have gained wisdom (Tehillim 119:99). I learned more from my friends than from my rebbeim and more from my students than from everyone (Taanis 7a). Lessons from home, Lessons from the park, Lessons from school, Lessons from camp. It’s all here in Lessons Learned from My Children. Brilliant in concept and exceptional in implementation, this innovative book offers a new paradigm for educating and raising the future generation. Comprehensively supported by divrei Chazal, these messages ― derived from the day-to day scenarios of life as a parent ― hit home and provide inspiration.
