Family & Parenting
Every woman has the ability to joyously develop her relationship with Hashem and to build herself through the circumstances of her life. Every woman can be a world of positive influence for those around her. But sometimes, we need a little help figuring out how to do it.
Ohel Rochel is the instruction manual we need.
For over twenty-five years, Rochel Miller has shared the wisdom of this sefer with women all over the world. The Simchah of Marriage is a taste of her classes: a combination of deep Torah ideas coupled with practical exercises and easy-to-remember catchphrases. This is the mesorah of learning to understand who we are and maximizing our potential to create a life and a marriage brimming with the satisfaction of simchah.
“Rochel Miller’s classes transformed my marriage and my life. She taught me that if you change your own attitude and behavior, you will change your marriage — with amazing results.”
Sara Yoheved Rigler, bestselling author
“Mrs. Miller's shiurim on building the Jewish home have changed the lives of thousands.”
Rabbi Leib Kelemen, Rosh Kollel, Center for Kehillah Development
Rochel Miller was raised in Boston, Massachusetts, the daughter of Holocaust survivors. She married Manny Miller, z”l, and together they raised a beautiful, growing family in Queens, NY, until they immigrated to Israel in 1993. Mrs. Miller spent her first eleven years in Israel learning the secrets of the eternal Jewish home with Rebbetzin Talya Helfer. The class was based on the sefer, Ohel Rochel. Realizing that this precious learning was missing in the English-speaking world, Mrs. Miller was inspired to share her learning through teaching. Her classes began in Jerusalem 25 years ago, and now take place in person and over Zoom in Israel, USA, South Africa and England. The classes have been called “life-changing,” “healing,” and “medicine for our generation.” This book, The Simchah of Marriage, is a continuation of Mrs. Miller’s classes, a gift for the many women who have felt deprived and unaware of the true inner peace and goals of the Jewish marriage. Information about Mrs. Miller’s classes and hashkafic marriage counseling can be found on our website, simchahofmarriage.com.

So many questions ...
Raising children. It’s never been easy, and in today’s increasingly complex world, raising successful and happy children seems more difficult than ever. Parents face so many challenges and issues -- and have so many questions.
Thankfully, we’ve got Rabbi Yaakov Bender to answer them.
Rabbi Bender is a national resource, hailed as one of the most visionary and dedicated mechanchim of our time. Thousands of parents, educators and, of course, children turn to him with their questions, knowing the answers they receive from him will be wise and compassionate, based firmly on Torah values and his many decades of teaching -- and caring for -- children of all ages. In Chinuch For Today he shares hundreds of real questions that have been sent to him, together with his answers.
• On an upcoming visit, my parents want to take our children out to places that don’t reflect our family’s values and hashkafos. How do we deal respectfully with grandparents who honestly want to show our children their love?
• My mother remarried. Do I have to like my step-siblings?
• Can (and should) we get a “kosher” flip phone for our tenth-grade daughter, who says “everyone” in the class has one?
• The parents of a student in my class are going through a difficult divorce. He’s been a good student, but now he seems to be slipping. As his teacher, what can I do to help?
Rabbi Bender’s answers are brief and to the point, and in every word we feel the warmth and love he has for every child.
From the profound, to the poignant, to the completely practical -- here are the questions we ask and the answers we need to hear. Learn More
