Family & Parenting

  1. Want to become a fantastic parent or highly effective educator? Go to the experts ... our forefathers, the great men and women of Tanach, and the Sages of the Talmud.

    Want to raise caring, responsible, and successful children and students? Use the best book available ... the Torah!


    Rabbi Meyer Yedid is a renowned educator, sought-after speaker, Rav of Brooklyn’s large and thriving Congregation Shaare Zion, and author of the popular work The Power of Tranquility.

    In The Power of Chinuch Rabbi Yedid combines his vast knowledge of Torah with his profound understanding of children - and the adults tasked to raise them (that’s us!). His guidance is warm, practical, and firmly sourced in the Torah’s eternal wisdom.

    Yes, we all know that we have to show children that we love them -- but do we truly understand how to get the message of unconditional love across to them? Yes, we realize that teenagers are, to put it kindly, a little confused -- but wouldn’t it be valuable to learn how to enter their thoughts and feelings? Of course we know that we don’t “own” our children -- but do we sometimes act as if we do?

  3. “My husband isn’t into celebrating our anniversary. My friends get
    fancy dinners, big vacations, expensive jewelry—I feel very deprived.”


    “My ten-year-old daughter cannot handle the word ‘no.’
    She screams at the top of her lungs with everyone staring at her!
    I just can’t take this behavior anymore.”


    “My young son is a walking thunderstorm. He ‘hates’ everything;
    nothing ever pleases him. I feel so guilty for not liking my own child.”


    Like it or not, our homelife forces us to confront ourselves and each other. Harmony is the product of this confrontation; it’s a state in which we’re at peace with our personal journey. How do we achieve such a state? Is it possible to enjoy harmony under such difficult circumstances?
    In Harmony at Home, renowned family therapist and best-selling author Sarah Chana Radcliffe shares her unique approach to enhancing our peace of mind and sense of accomplishment throughout the highs and lows of family life—whether involving an insensitive spouse, a defiant child, impossible in-laws, or a demanding friend. With Mrs. Radcliffe’s insightful observations and innovative solutions, you will discover how to enjoy harmony at home with yourself and your loved ones.

  4. This book is meant for everyone. The information and strategies that it provides were tested over the past three decades in my work as a marriage and family counselor. They have helped couples preparing for marriage as well as married couples whose relationships were at risk.

    Marriage can be as holy as a "devouring fire," full of fervor, passion, and enthusiasm. Each can connect with the other and become attached with a bond so strong, to feel so beloved by the other and feel such a love for the other, that their unity creates within them the most eternal peace on earth, an internal serenity that manifests externally in all their ways.

    This true love experience ignites a soul ascent, eager to capture the rapture of Oneness; unifying each other wherever they might be, near or far, always close in heart and soul, until together they are able to conquer worlds, to make an abode for divinity here on earth; to build a true home out of that beautiful love, a miniature sanctuary of their own.

    I pray as you read this book that you see the holiness in yourselves and in your spouse, that you experience much delight all the days of your life, forever together, reaching new heights.
