How do you help your child choose between mandatory baseball
practice and Hebrew school? How can you plan a birthday party (not
to mention bar or bat mitzvah party!) for your child without
sacrificing your values, sanity, and pocketbook? How can you keep
peace on the homework homefront? And how do you deal with Santa
envy–let alone the entire month of December?
As any modern Jewish parent knows, balancing family traditions
and the realities of contemporary culture can be incredibly
challenging.
Answering questions both old and new, Jewish and secular,
internationally syndicated parenting columnist and award-winning
Jewish educator and mother of four, Sharon Duke Estroff illuminates
the ways that Jewish tradition can be used to form a lasting,
emotional safety net for modern families. Can I Have a Cell Phone
for Hanukkah? is an instant classic
