How to Raise a Child: Will our children want to follow in our footsteps?
The key to raising children is not to “raise” them, but to include them in your own life, and to live your own life in a way that is worth emulating.

Public School We have been in a financial crunch, so at the beginning of the school year we have sent our children Josh 8, and Gracie 7, and after 1 month and half we withdraw them. Josh was so bored because they only read absurd fantasy story books and his efficiency in math begin to decline, on the other hand Gracie was bullied, one of her peers a girl told her that she is going to cut her head off, that was enough for us. Public Schools are not an option for us anymore. Now we get back to homeschooling and they spend good quality time reading Jewish stories that encourage them in their Jewishness. Hashem always provides!
