This week on Guiding Generations, Rabbi Shifman reflects on a traumatic incident in his school community and draws deep parenting insights from the double Parsha that concludes Sefer Vayikra. In a world where blame is quickly assigned and values are easily lost, Rabbi Shifman challenges us to confront the real message: Are we raising our children with shared Jewish values, or outsourcing their growth to culture, technology, and circumstance? Through the lens of the Tochacha (rebuke) and the lasting legacy of the Avot, we explore how true connection—rooted in Torah, tefillah, and chesed—can anchor our families, even when everything seems scattered. A powerful episode about responsibility, unity, and the kind of parenting that doesn’t wait for crisis to inspire growth.
