Happy Summer Days
I’m so happy to see the kids entertaining themselves outside. We have huge willow trees in our pasture, which happen to drop a lot of deadwood every winter. We use some of it for firewood during sukkot. But there is plenty more, so the kids have been building things with the help of some baling […]

Torah parenting – The tower of Babel
Your house is full of kids, 80% of which do not belong to you. Craziness has insued. They have bad ideas in their heads and nothing will stand in their way. What do you do? Torah parenting means that we follow our Heavenly Father’s example. We don’t need to look any farther than the Tower […]
Elisha gets a haircut!
Okay, so he was beginning to look a little shaggy. I loved his long hair, but it was time for him to look like a little boy, and the girls needed to be discouraged from putting a ponytail in his hair. Also, it is 90 degrees out, so he really needed his hair off his […]

We women do not often realize the great power we have in our role as wives. The home rises and falls on the woman. The tone and atmosphere is set by her. The spiritual compass is often in her head. The ability to influence and build up her husband lies squarely on her shoulders. She […]
Torah parenting – Noah
Torah parenting – Noah Noah found favor in YHVH’s sight. He was “a model child” for our purposes. How did YHVH deal with the good kid? (Gen 6:8) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. (Gen 6:12) And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for […]
Torah parenting – Cain and Abel
I am tempted to say that I am glad I do not have a son like Cain. But then I realize I must be very careful. A “Cain” could be waiting for me tomorrow. What can we learn from this very sad story? Cain and Abel were different, with different personalities and tastes. Cain preferred […]
