• 36. S.2 Episode 3 - Rabbi Eliezer Rubin - High School
    Jan 31 2023

    This week we focus on teens in the high school years with an extremely seasoned educator, Rabbi Eliezer Rubin. This episode is an absolute must listen, because of Rabbi Rubin's vast vas wisdom and insight into the teenage years, for both parents and educators. 

    You will learn about:

    • A new challenge with parenting teens.
    • A fundamental approach towards parenting teens.
    • A fascinating take on the difference between 9/10 and 11/12th graders
    • How to deal with defiance, apathy, Tefillah and so much more at this age. 

    Rabbi Rubin has so many years of experience, and this experience shows throughout this episode, especially at 1 hour 13 min in, with an extremely important take within parenting. I am so excited to share this episode with you, and can’t wait to hear your feedback.

    Rabbi Rubin began his career in Israel, where he studied at Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav before receiving semicha from the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. In addition to teaching many young men and women at Israeli yeshivot and seminaries for their gap year, he served as an officer in Tzahal and as Chaplain of the renowned 13th Brigade (Golani).

    Rabbi Eliezer Rubin is currently the Head of School at The Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy/Rae Kushner Yeshiva High School in Livingston, NJ, as well as the principal of the high school.

    Prior to leading JKHA/RKYHS, Rabbi Rubin enjoyed an 18-year-long career at the Ramaz School, where he served as Headmaster of both the Lower and Middle Schools, as well as Dean of the Upper School—a distinction that is exceedingly rare in Jewish or secular education. At Congregation Kehillat Jeshurun, his Shabbat shiurim and other lectures routinely attracted scores of enthusiastic teens and adults from all parts of Manhattan. Rabbi Rubin earned two Masters degrees, one in Administration and Leadership from New York University, as well as a Masters in Jewish Studies from Touro College

  • 32. Rabbi Dr. Yosef Lynn - Improving Our Parenting by Improving Our Marriage
    Sep 6 2022

    Did you know that that the most important thing you can do as a parent has nothing to do with how you interact with your children, but rather how you interact with your spouse? Rabbi Dr. Yosef Lynn, a marriage and performance coach, who has authored books on marriage and parenting, explains that he has given many classes on chinuch, and they all sound like shalom bayis classes, because when the marriage is healthy, strong and growing, what that does for children is huge.

  • 29. Zaida - Mr. Chaim Shiel - Father's Day Edition - The Education of the Home
    Jun 20 2022

    "One of the most important things in education is the home you come from becasue you get more from the home than you get from the school."

    This weeks episode is very special and dear to me, as I had the opportunity to sit down with my wife’s grandfather, Zaida, the patriarch of our family. Zaida was a principal in Winnipeg for many years, as well as very involved in Moshava as the Rosh Mosh. It was so special to sit down with Zaida and hear his story of how his parents and him made it out of Europe before the war, and what it was like growing up in the house of immigrants, and the special upbringing he had. We discuss how Zaida got involved in education, and hear many sagely pieces of advice and wisdom from a true educator and father par excellence. You are in for a real treat. Enjoy!

    "I should say my father had a lot to with the Jewish education even though he himself was not an educator, but he insisted we went to Jewish school and learn. He didn’t make a lot, but the first thing he would do would put money towards the education."
