PARENT IS A VERB, with Barry and Chanie Holzer, offers advice on how to be a pro-active parent. Parenting is the most important job we get in life, with the least preparation. Many parents today are afraid to parent, and remain passive in their roles, leaving their children without the strong role models and sense of security that strong parenting provides. Our goal is to guide parents on their journey with insights into themselves and how they are perceived by their children, and a discussion of the opportunities parenting presents, so you can raise your children suffused with love, filled with optimism, and the resilience and strength to fulfill their potential.

The eight young men murdered on March 6, 2008 in Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav in Jerusalem were all fourth or fifth generation students of the revered founder of that Yeshiva, more than eighty years ago, Rav Abraham Isaac Kook. The teachings of Rav Kook emphasize love of the Land of Israel and the People of Israel. I thought it would be especially appropriate to memorialize these boys by perpetuating his teachings. To that end, I plan to deliver a brief weekly lesson, based on his teachings, for the duration of the year of mourning, concluding Rosh Chodesh Adar, 5769.

Based on the book Redemption to Redemption by Rabbi Pinchas Winston, these lectures examine the deep connection between the holidays of Purim and Pesach. Even though Purim occurred after the close of the Torah, nevertheless, it is our preparation for the holiday of Pesach. If one understands the true opportunity of Purim, and takes advantage of it, then he will be in better position to experience the redemptive power of Pesach. And, to this, we must first better understand the story of Yosef and his brothers, as it relates to the Mishkan. Listen Now.
